Boyle’s robot figure, which has its origin in the handcraft of Karakuri – the Japanese tradition of automaton making – is a mistress of ceremonies. She mediates between man and nature, propagating the overcoming of the boundaries between artificiality and naturalness, respectively the technological and the organic that have always been inscribed in western culture.
The project was developed via the Synapse Art/Science initiative, presented by The Australian Network for Art and Technology (ANAT) and the Artificial Intelligence Lab, University of Zurich in association with the Australian Government through the Australia Council for the Arts, its arts funding and advisory body.
