Dancing Robots

Pera Kids
Ages 9-11

  • March 13, 2022 / 13:30

At the workshop to take place during Science and Technology Week, we’ll be chatting about examples in art in which technology is used and then we’ll meet the musician Yuri Suziki, who has formed an orchestra. We’ll design a dancing robot using various materials and then learn about the relationship between the operational speed of a simple motor in an electric circuit and the energy source. We’ll also learn how engineering skills are used in daily life, scientific research and how they’re used in art.

Moscow Conceptualists

Moscow Conceptualists

Our institutions have been stuck on linear Neo-Platonic tracks for 24 centuries. These antiquated processes of deduction have lost their authority. Just like art it has fallen off its pedestal. Legal, educational and constitutional systems rigidly subscribe to these; they are 100% text based.

Baby King

Baby King

1638, the year Louis XIV was born –his second name, Dieudonné, alluding to his God-given status– saw the diffusion of a cult of maternity encouraged by the very devout Anne of Austria, in thanks for the miracle by which she had given birth to an heir to the French throne. Simon François de Tours (1606-1671) painted the Queen in the guise of the Virgin Mary, and the young Louis XIV as the infant Jesus, in the allegorical portrait now in the Bishop’s Palace at Sens.

Girl in a Blue Dress

Girl in a Blue Dress

This life-size portrait of a girl is a fine example of the British art of portrait painting in the early 18th century. The child is shown posing on a terrace, which is enclosed at the right foreground by the plinth of a pillar; the background is mainly filled with trees and shrubs.
