Robots offer something out of the box
smh.com.au: "Velonaki created the wheelchairs several years ago with the robotics scientists David Rye and Steve Scheding. Known as Fish-Bird, the chairs form part of the body of work for which she was nominated for the inaugural Premier of Queensland's National New Media Art Award, which will be announced on October 31."

It’s interesting to me that robotics and artificial intelligence is considered art. Is it art because of the way it looks, he way it interacts with people or because it has a meaning? It’s creepy she programmed the chairs to say “Love me”. Deep emotional feelings from a machine will certainly get a reaction from the people who go to see the exhibit.
This is really interesting because I am in a class that is called making things interactive. There are a lot of art kids and architecture kids in the class that want to make the next amazing interactive piece that changes the world and makes absolutely no sense. At least when they describe their unbuilt idea thats what im thinking. I can see how interactive art can be interesting because it pulls the viewer into the piece and the experience, but it takes the right audience to appreciate that.
