monochrom and Shifz are (still) organizing the first and (inevitably) leading festival concerned with cocktail robotics here in Vienna. We try to document the increasing occurrence of radical hedonism in man-machine communication.
A micro mechanical paradigm change in the age of borderless capital. Not only Mr. Turing would test this out.
There is an Annual Cocktail Robot Award for
1. serving cocktails
2. mixing cocktails
3. bartending conversation
4. lighting cigars/cigarettes
5. other achievements in the sector of cocktail culture.
And as you can imagine … these tasks aren’t trivial. If you are interested in coming to (or staying in) Vienna to present a robot, hold a workshop or a lecture, please send me an email.
This years festival time: November 19th through 27th, 2004.
