A collaboration between Silke Grabinger, the Circus of Knowledge and the Department of Robotics at the Johannes Kepler University
SPOTSHOTBEUYS brings together urban-contemporary dancer Silke Grabinger and “Spot,” the robotic dog developed by Boston Dynamics, processes the current relationship between humans and technology against the backdrop of Joseph Beuys’ performance I like America and America likes me. The dog does notsymbolizes the original nature like the coyote, but rather the result of the currently most advanced culture. Still the relationship to it is similar - except the role of mediating between dog and human now asserts itself in its own autonomy. In this context, the roles must be questioned more than ever. Who controls whom, or who can/must be tamed by whom?
