ARW is pleased to announce the installation and performance of the Amorphic Robot Works Retrospective at the Cultural Capital of Europe Festival in Lille, France from December 2003 to March 2004. More information about seeing the show is available here. This is the first time all of Amorphic Robot Works' machines have been able to perform together. The retrospective includes The Ancestral Path Through the Amorphic Landscape, the Cave of the Subconscious, Too Big Dog Monkey, Skeletal Reflections, the Floaters, YoYo Belimbau, the House Player, and many machines not seen for years in performance. The installation has two modes: interactive - visitors can activate individual machines by walking near them, and performance, in which the ARW crew will stage an entire performance featuring every machine in concert. The installation is controlled by Mac computers running Maxplay with performance elements designed in Studiovision, networked with Linux and Windows interface PCs running Pure Data, Eyesweb, and custom vision and control software. Exhibition hours at the TriPostal building are 10am-7pm Wednesdays and Sundays, 10am-9pm Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, closed Mondays and Tuesdays.
