Robots and Artificial Intelligence Being "transmedia" Since 2007 I have added a new media to my list. As Mario Casanova the director of the Centro Arte Conremporanea Ticino says it, I'm a "transmedia" artist. In 2007 I created The mountain comes to me, which had a robotic component to it. In 2009 I did a nine-month residency at the Institute of Artificial Intelligence in Lugano and created an installation with nine small mobile robots and digital imagery created by a software. The resulting installation When I woke up the sun had moved will be presented in San Francisco in May 2011. The way I use robots or any new technology, unlike many artists, is not to create gadgets, but to create art , formal or conceptual. I don't like to show robots and what they can do. That's more of a scientific experience for me or a pass-time for viewers who would otherwise get bored in a contemporary art exhibition. Again considering Mario Casanova's "transmedia", I don't like to call myself a new media artist. New media will be old in a few years, but as long as I live and create, I could be a contemporary artist. I use media to my discretion and need. It could be paper, paint, canvas, light, shadow, sound or maybe grass, why not. I would like to showcase some images of my two robotic/software works.
