Empathy Swarm workshop

3. May - 4. May 2022


Workshop for young people and adults in Xcenter, Nova Gorica

The workshops, which will take place on 3 and 4 May from 5 pm to 8 pm, will present the creative possibilities of a robotic swarm.

Participants will learn about and develop:

  • color theory for a dynamical system
  • digital storytelling through behavior and color
  • human-robot interaction

Experience the installation Empathy Swarm and collaborate with the swarm and artistic duo Katrin Hochschuh and Adam Donovan on a new version of the work.

Is it possible that the swarm tells the hero’s journey?
How do people experience this different form of life?

On Thursday, May 5, there will be a presentation at the opening of the exhibition Empathy Swarm Orchestra – Cyber ​​Intimacy

Empathy Swarm is an artificial life form that explores social interaction between non-human beings using behavior and movement as a language for interspecific communication that can also be understood by the human observer.

The interactive robotic artwork, which includes 10 robots, is a research platform for the embodiment of artificial intelligence and explores Marie-Luise Angerer’s notion of affect and its warning to keep coincidence alive as a special open form of possibility that could easily be lost through technology. life and the environment in a rigid AI system.
