Week 3 Robotics + Art

I found this week’s lecture material extremely interesting, especially the video by professor Machiko Kusahara on Japanese robotics.
This essay made a huge impact on the rest of society because of the way and timing of the release, at this point the political issues that this essay brought with it was timed with with the political issues entering the art world. This concept of uniqueness that the human race has developed over time is a tradition that has been used in everything we as humans develop and engineer, the mass development of these ideas have slowly gotten rid of the originality within each product. The machinery used to mass develop these has taken the what was once a unique symbol is now a “cookie cutter” system that does not leave room for any kind of traditional uniqueness.

This is about a robot that has developed a sense of imagination and consciousness, the robot can provide something that is unique to the robot race itself and shows that this uniqueness within one robot is out of the ordinary in this established technological society at the time because of concepts of uniqueness between these products are gone.
Society’s response to this industrialization movement is showing a necessity and using this movement as a crutch, because once this industrialization movement has been established it is hard to function without it.
