Are robots taking over HOTA?! Join guest artist Mark du Potiers for a sustainable robot-making workshop where kids and adults build colourful cardboard robots together!
RX78-2 currently showing in This Moment: Highlights from the White Rabbit Collection of Chinese Contemporary Art, is not your typical robot. The artist Kung Wen Yi 鞏文宜 has used traditional ceramic techniques and colouring known as sancai 三彩, associated with small-scale pottery vessels and figurines, to portray the larger than life, high tech robot.
In this workshop, we’ll explore the possibilities of a range of unlikely art materials to represent a multitude of possible robotic functionalities and fulfil our sci-fi fantasies!
