![]() Generative Theses of a Robot 2008 In a stand-alone process a robot is writing manifestos. Each manifesto consists of eight ![]() In contrast to humans robots have no intrinsic will neither for seeking after nor constituting a meaning. They are free in choice and compilation of the words. Therefore the message of each manifesto is individual and carried out within the perception of the reader, who instinctively performs a search for the meaning of the unconventional theses. The title 'manifest' combines the manual operation of the robot (lat. manus = hand) with a ritual act (lat. festus = festive). The robot and its task stand within a long tradition of manifestos within art and politics. Unlike its predecessors the robot has no defined program and no pre-purposed statement. Instead of a mass-reproduction of one uniform manifesto as a propagandistic declaration the machine mass-produces unique manuscripts with individual messages. 26/03/2008 |
