Industrial robotics and robotic-relevant machine learning come with pre-inscribed conceptions of human-technology relations, definitions of intelligence, understanding of cognition and a particular perspective on what it means to be efficient. Inscriptions that, besides being up to debate, more or less explicitly organize our way of intra-acting with these technicalities and, by doing so, also limit potential creative genesis.
Asking how AI-driven industrial robotic arms can be reframed as portals for broader creative genesis, this practice-based PhD project explores attempts of widening the thinking with those concepts through xenomorphosic bodily experienceable encounters with industrial robotic arms in semi-public spaces.
Kurz-Biographie / Short Bio
Emanuel Gollob (AT) (b. 1991) is an artist and researcher investigating today’s relations between humans, artificial intelligence & robots with the goal of making alternative ones bodily experienceable. In parallel, his work traces the change in human perception in connection to digitalization. Gollob graduated from the University of Applied Arts Vienna with a diploma in Design Investigation (2019). From 2020 to 2021, he was an artist in residence at MindSpaces, an EU research project in the STARTS initiative framework. Since 2020, he has been a PhD candidate and researcher at the University of Arts Linz with a particular focus on the performativity in human-robot encounters. In 2023, he was a guest artist at the ZKM | Center for Art and Media in Karlsruhe and the European Media Art Platform (EMAP). Gollob’s work has recently been exhibited in various international institutions, including the Smithsonian Arts + Industries Building, Washington DC (2021); Science Gallery Melbourne (2021); Art Science Museum Singapore (2022); and HEK Basel (2023).
