The Taste of Metal is the first public presentation of The New Artist, a project to develop purely robotic art: art that is made by robots for other robots.
The New Artist takes place at the Robotics Institute and is the result of the collaborative efforts of Ben Brown, Geoff Gordon, Sue Ann Hong, Marek Michalowski, Paul Scerri, Axel Straschnoy, Iheanyi Umez-Eronini and Garth Zeglin. It is produced by Piritta Puhto.
The New Artist has been supported by the Alfred Kordelin Foundation, Promotion Centre for Audiovisual Culture (AVEK), National Arts Council (Finland), Uusimaa Arts Council, and Carnegie Mellon’s Collaborative Machining Center and STUDIO for Creative Inquiry.
Take the Gates Building elevator to the second floor and follow the signs.
