Five robots are always exhibited. The mode in which a pattern and music were prepared beforehand, and a public can also choose the mode of a performance. The former one is a mode in which some patterns and some composition are written in Max/MSP. The latter one is a mode that a public actually can perform the robots by clicking the screen of a computer with a mouse and so on in real time. The algorithms of Max patches are prepared by the composers.

An algorithm controls the robots and a dancer, which is hanged and manipulated by an electric shock at the same time in order to emphasizes the difference between a human and a robot.

Suguru Goto

How can one coexist with a robot, and what could the relationship with human be? What are the differences between a human player and a performance of a robot? Can one of them exceed another or what is the point of disadvantage in another? We may explore how much the present technology of robot may respond to these, while we explore the difference between human gestures and robot acts for music in which the advanced intelligence is necessary.
