Did you know that artificial intelligence is also used in art and that there are even artists who build an orchestra from robots? In the workshop inspired by Vera Molnár, who uses technology as a tool to produce paintings that expand the boundaries of both science and art, children design a drawing robot using various materials. While exploring electrical circuits, motors and the design process, they imagine and create their own drawing robots. At the end of the workshop, the robots, which can make random drawings with the colors chosen by the children, dance freely on paper.

In 1962 Philip Corner, one of the most prominent members of the Fluxus movement, caused a great commotion in serious music circles when during a performance entitled Piano Activities he climbed up onto a grand piano and began to kick it while other members of the group attacked it with saws, hammers and all kinds of other implements.
Between 1963 and 1966 Andy Warhol worked at making film portraits of all sorts of characters linked to New York art circles. Famous people and anonymous people were filmed by Andy Warhol’s 16 mm camera, for almost four minutes, without any instructions other than ‘to get in front of the camera’.
Nam June Paik was video art’s pioneer (1932 –2006). It is interesting that while Warhol and Nameth were experimenting with psychedelic happenings that combined rock, film and performance, the video art pioneers Nam June Paik, Stephen Beck, Eric Siegel and Steina Vasulka were researching in a similar direction.
