The Blind Robot  - Louis-Philippe Demers
Presented by Laboratoria Art&Science in the non-profit program of the International Contemporary Art Fair COSMOSCOW 2016 

‘BLIND ROBOT is comprised of a robotic manipulator. Visitors are invited to sit in front of the machine and engage in a nonverbal dialogue with it. The robot delicately explores the body and the face of the visitor in a manner reminiscent of that of a blind person. The act of touching creates an emotionally charged connection between the human and the robot.’
