Purpose of the residency
The aim of the residency is to explore the potential of cultural robotics in which robots are not simply industrial machines, but have a great capacity to contribute to society and culture. My interest in robotics stems from a fascination with how people interact with technology and what characteristics of technology condition the way we experience technology. Japan is a leader in the field of robotics and the residency will provide the opportunity to collaborate with individuals based in Tokyo working at the forefront of the field.
Plan during the residency
During the residency I will meet researchers at AIST, Tokyo University, Waseda University and KIEO University. In addition to these researchers who are examining robotics from varying perspectives, I will also meet Japanese artists who utilise robotic technologies or concepts in their practice.
