Abstract:
This artist presentation introduces a practice-based research endeavor aimed at exploring novel possibilities for machines in presenting anthropomorphic features. It unveils three innovative practices by Zoe Li, seeking to reimagine the anthropomorphic potential of robots. These projects delve into novel approaches to humanizing machines, employing performative anthropomorphic features that transcend overt appearances and reveal themselves through choreographed machine performance. The artistic strategy investigates subtle anthropomorphic qualities, fostering empathic connections without relying on a humanoid facade. The aspiration is to open new possibilities for human-robot interaction.
