Abstract

Robotic Art and related practices provide a context in which real-time computational technologies and techniques are deployed for cultural purposes. This practice brings the embodied experientiality, so central to art hard up against the tacit commitment to abstract disembodiment inherent in the computational technologies. In this essay I explore the relevance of post-cognitivist thought to robotics in general, and in particular, questions of materiality and embodiment with respect to robotic art practice—addressing philosophical, aesthetic-theoretical and technical issues.

As with any long-term project, there is a variety of milestone dates for Petit Mal. The project was designed and the aluminium frame constructed in 1989. The major sensor and electro-mechanical parts (sensor head, motor-wheel system in the ensuing couple of years, and simple solutions to control electronics were made. In 1993, the GCB (68hc11 based) microcontroller was introduced to the system and serious software development and testing ensued.

The first use of the term “singularity” in this context was by mathematician John von Neumann. In 1958. Ray Kurzweil cited von Neumann’s use of the term in a foreword to von Neumann's classic The Computer and the Brain.
