⁍ London’s Saatchi gallery is holding a private viewing for robots and humans.
⁍ The show displays work featuring Colbert’s cartoon lobster.
⁍ Telepresence robots are on offer for those who don’t attend in person.
– If you can’t make it to London’s Saatchi gallery for its pop-art exhibition, you can still get a good look at Philip Colbert’s work via a remote-controlled robot. The robot “goes out into the world for us so we stay protected at home,” Colbert tells Reuters. “I felt that that was not only a way of making the show more accessible but also creating a more vision of the future … it is very possible that people could be physically required to be present and are not able [to be], so hence they have a robot presence somehow.”
