Robots

I know I haven't posted in a while, so this will be very anti-climatic. "Zaven Paré is a French new media artist who lives in Rio. He has won international acclaim for his electronic puppetry, stage design, video projections, and robotic art. He has collaborated with dancers and playwrights as well as with other digital artists and robotics engineers." This thing was pretty interesting, Pare would create a mold for the face, and then use a projector that would project up and then bounce off a mirror into the back of the mold. The image being projected was created by some sort of program that allowed Pare to make the robot talk and move it's eyes; I could definitely see this sort of technology used in the future.
