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.’

AgX: H202 (excerpt) - Grayson Cooke

[His words:] “An excerpt of “H202” from the AGX project by Grayson Cooke - an art-science project about material memory and forgetting – it features time-lapse macro-photography of photographic negatives being chemically destroyed. This work, H202, uses hydrogen peroxide, copper, silver nitrate and sodium hypochlorite to dissolve black and white negatives from my collection of photos shot when I studied photography at high school.”
