HOLOBOT. SOCIAL GARDEN is an artistic piece in the form of a space where some of the connections between social media users converge in a holographic vegetable reality that hybridises them. An industrial robot becomes a performer, transforming social interactions into a composition in the form of a large virtual garden created with the participation of attendees and social media activity during the 31st edition of the International Machine Tool Biennial to be held from 13 to 17 June at the Bilbao Exhibition Center. Its aim is to create an analogy between technology and nature, in a determined social context where the presence of technology and human interaction seem inevitable. Through its perspective and ecosystemic awareness, Holobot will draw a landscape comprised of an assortment of virtual creatures.
Holobot is a collaborative project between the international automation company Kuka, the Tekniker technology centre and Medialab Tabakalera.
