The Human Hive Workshop
July 20, 2:00pm-5:00pm
Now that robot servants such as the roomba have finally arrived to populate our houses, we are looking at taking the next step: our houses themselves could be made of a large number of simple robots, a sort of swarm of bricks. Participants in the workshop will join a human robot swarm and collaborate to construct one of several competing hives out of cardboard building blocks. - Mike Weller, Erik Schweikardt, Mark Gross

Event: Activist Robotics Workshop
July 27, 2:00-5:00pm
This workshop will ask how might we imagine robots that don't kill or surveil? And how might we use art to image these robots? In the workshop we will engage in hands on building activities with craft materials, collage, and toys to produce experimental prototypes that imagine robots used for social justice, environmental causes, and against the police state.

Event: Meet the Made
Space Invaders: An Afternoon with the Rat King
August 3, 2:00pm-5:00pm
This workshop with the artists, Jake Peterson and Lauren F. Adams, will include local research scientists that experiment on animals and or model systems after animal behavior. The forum guests will discuss their jobs, experiences, and how their research connects (or disconnects) with human social behavior. It will also explore autonomous tools (robots) and their implications for the future of labor.
