Gogh Bot: Interactive Art Installation

 

Information

Gogh Bot is a "play-full" interactive art work by Lindsay Grace. A simple wind-up toy is placed in a glass display case beside a box of gloves. The piece is intended to be touched, but it requires a museum-like hygiene and presence of interaction. The work's intention is light-hearted. Gogh bot was last shown at Make Me an Offer (December 2008 to Janaury 2009), a themed gallery exhibition seeking to emphasize the growing ambiguity between commercial arts and fine arts. It sought to emphasize the artificial nature of this distinction. Make Me an Offer was co-curated by Lindsay Grace and Nancy Lu Rosenheim
