To be honest telecommunications art, especially the work of Kenneth Feingold, scares the daylights outof me. I think its creepy. But it does interest me that it is considered and art form. I would out it under the category of science myself, but then again, the design and intention of the pieces are more liek art than anything else. The things tht robots can do nowalso freaks me out. if they can already think for themselves, enough to hold a conversation that isnt pre-recorded and retain new information, i think we will soon have a huge problem on our hands. Lynn Hershman's Agent Ruby even emphasizes that thr robots can take on a life of their own and essentially become social beings! I wish i had the savvy to create my own robot though! unfortunately thats not quite my forte. If i could mimic anything it would be the work of Eduardo Kac! i think Rara Avis is so cute and such a clever idea! but i think it's taking it too far when you get to things like Exoskelton.
