ROBOT LOVE was one of the highlights of Dutch Design Week 2018 and trending topic during this extremely well attended and successful edition. And ROBOT LOVE continues. The exhibition can be visited until 2 December 2018. During the Dutch Design Week, ROBOT LOVE received thousands of visitors from the Netherlands and abroad. The exhibition and the event programme were highly appreciated by the public and (inter) national press/media. Visitors could spot avatars in Swarming Lounge by kondition pluriel, be caressed by a robot in the Tickle Salon 2.0 by Driessens & Verstappen, and comfort Annelies, the robot sister of the twin artists L.A. Raeven. In four Cyborg Talks, the audience explored the advantages and disadvantages of the far-reaching merger between humans and machines. The prize winners of the Call for Cyborgs showed examples of that fusion on the Cyborg Catwalk. The audio work by Petra Ardai, commissioned by ROBOT LOVE, is also part of the expo.
