Robots in the hood...<(--)>

Thanks to my friend Tony Riccardi, I had the opportunity to participate in a group art show for MIT's Cambridge Science Festival!

"Robot Demographics": An exhibition of painting and sculpture occupying our imaginations inspired by an emerging population. The exhibit was at the Out of the Blue Gallery in Central Square, Cambridge.


I was super-excited to be part of this among the likes of Paul Laffoley and
others! And also nervous at the same time...but was glad I had this opportunity :). That's him on the left and his work at the exhibit "Femi-sapien" (I think that's what it was called) on the right.



My work was called "Roboticons" (pronounced robot-ti-kon). Tony's work included a three headed robot and a two headed dog! (in below picture)

The exhibit had a good blend of paintings as well as art and sound installations. and also a real one! This included a life sized robot made out circuit breaker boxes. That was indeed impressive!




The opening reception was a fun experience, a first time being a participating artist in one :) and I wanted to share it with all of you. Below are some other pictures from the exhibit!
