Telerobotics makes it possible to represent oneself in remote places through
a network. But how do others know that the robot is operated by a real
person? And how do we know that the robot is representing the world
accurately back to us?

I, Robot is a new art project that explores artificial intelligence,
physical computing and remote control. It is an installation consisting of a
social network of robots, live video streams and genetic algorithms.

For three weeks in August, Artsadmin will host I, Robot. This will culminate
in a five-day exhibition, where visitors will have the opportunity to
compete to parent robots and remotely participate in the robots' evolution
within a sealed environment.
