The special exhibition of 《DANCING WITH ROBOTS – Fluid Consciousness》 by the ROSO Robot Construction Laboratory showcases new technologies and materials, creating new experiences and perceptions. When perception extends to thinking and action, there is an opportunity for a change in human lifestyle. In many science fiction movies, we see various intelligent robots playing different roles in human life. The question ‘What will the future of living with robots be like?’ has been continuously discussed since the 20th century. However, in the process of continuous technological progress, robots have already become one of the media in daily life and deeply influence our thinking, life, and values. ‘We are not worried about being replaced by robots. Instead, we look forward to colliding with new sparks of sensibility and rationality through interaction and dialogue with robots.’ Human-machine collaborative construction is already a future development trend. How to cooperate with robots more seamlessly and create new values and experiences is the direction that the ROSO Robot Construction Laboratory continuously explores. From the collision of ideas to the multi-faceted attempts of materials and then to the process of digital construction, finally, the works open up exchanges with viewers. Each stage is fluid and organic in itself, and so is the transition between stages. What flows is not only time but more importantly, the transmission of consciousness. And ROSO is the sum of the flow of consciousness.
Introduction to the ROSO team: The ROSO Robot Construction Laboratory was established by Feng Chia University in 2019. It is Taiwan’s first robot intelligent construction laboratory. It is jointly led by founder Sheng Yuting and teacher Wang Shiyuan. The team members include experts from different fields such as robotics, machine learning, materials, architecture, and civil engineering. They are committed to exploring new design methods brought about by the interweaving and collision of ‘computational design’, ‘robot construction technology’, and’materials’. ‘What we are challenging is to establish a new process from the design end to the manufacturing end.’ ROSO aims to transform the construction industry from a ‘labor-intensive industry’ into an ‘information-intensive industry’. It believes that information technology has the potential to challenge traditional architectural design and construction processes. Through the digitalization of architecture, redefine the roles of architects and robots in the design process. By multiplying ‘human creativity’ with ‘robot computing power’ and combining the characteristics of different materials, break through the limitations of traditional manufacturing methods and provide more opportunities to realize design concepts. At the same time, it also looks forward to opening up more connections and discussions on the ‘imagination of architecture’ and ‘possibilities of construction’ of this era through the joint rolling of research, teaching, and industry-academia cooperation. Further drive new opportunities and forward-looking visions of ‘intelligent construction’, and develop new construction methods and aesthetic experiences to jointly create the contemporary digital construction culture.The exhibition is open from September 14th to November 16th. Performance times and duration are subject to the venue’s schedule.
