The exhibition Robot Museum includes fields such as interactivity, robotics, informatics and multimedia. It\u2019s the first comprehensive exhibition of this part of contemporary Slovenian art. The project involves exploration, production and exhibition of robots and their cultural content, as well as software-art, intermedia installations and performance. The word robot means a machine controlled by computer and programmed to move or perform specific tasks. This universal term was first used by Czech writer Karel \u010capek (suggested by his brother Josef \u010capek) in his play R.U.R (Rossum\u2019s Universal Robots, 1920). In industry robots perform repetitive tasks or carry heavy loads. Some are designed to work in dangerous situations or they explore space and sea depths. They are equipped with sensors or video cameras and are even programmed to make decisions. Until recently Slovenia hasn\u2019t devoted much attention to robots and their contextualization in fine arts. This exhibition is based on previous researches and theoretical placements, and presents a transition from kinetic to cybernetic art. It will also raise questions about placement of robots as new media products in the field of arts. At the same time it will establish a bridge between science and art which are subjects of separate disciplines, but in the case of robots they represent an indispensable link. In the Slovenian arts for the last twenty years robots appeared in artwork of artists like Sre\u010do Dragan, Du\u0161an Bu\u010dar, Luka Drinovec, Borut Savski, Stefan Doepner, Bo\u0161tjan Kav\u010di\u010d\u2026 So far there have been fifteen projects related to robots (Sa\u0161o Sedla\u010dek, Robertina \u0160ebjani\u010d, Luka Frelih, Maja Smrekar, Igor \u0160tromajer, Nika Oblak & Primo\u017e Novak, Zoran Srdi\u0107 Jane\u017ei\u010d, Branko Zupan, Sanela Jahi\u0107\u2026). Most of the artists were participants of the International Festival of Computer Arts (1995-2008) and unfortunately some of their older artwork is lost. With this project Maribor Art Gallery and MKC Maribor would like to present phenomena of robots in the arts and culture. The exhibition aims to encourage connection and dialogue between technical culture, its development and artwork, while developing innovative transfer of knowledge and skills.
