“Rhythm Bots”
Naomi Leonard will present a new immersive installation with video, sound, and virtual reality (VR) evoking her most recent experiment, “Rhythm Bots” (2024), a playground for human-robot interaction in which a group of gentle, rhythmically rotating robots synchronize their movement in response to one another and their audience. Video interviews reveal how a group of scientists, scholars, and artists collaborated to create “Rhythm Bots.”
