Devolution: dancing, robots, dancing robots

by Paul Miller, posted Feb 6th 2006 at 5:15PM

We've never been quite so hot with the dance moves, so it's good to know there are some synthetic replacements out there to fill the void. These little bots, a creation of Louis-Philippe Demers, even mix it up with some carbon based lifeforms in an Australian Dance Theatre art dance production titled Devolution. There's some esoteric "men are machines, machines are organic" type of stuff going on, but we're just glad to see some robots showing a sensitive side and will leave it at that.

Had the same general queasiness for the arminess of the photo. It took me a minute but then I saw he's not standing behind a counter full of these, he's sitting on the floor "mingling" with them, and the really big, hairy, mismatched arm is actually just a big, hairy leg . . . still queasy, though.
