Artists represented in this exhibition employ sophisticated robotics and engineered mechanisms that are powered by electricity, solar power or wind power, to create sculptures that achieve elegant and highly articulated gestures. Co-curated by Nick Battis and Linda Lauro Lazin, the show features work by artists Casey Curran, Chico MacMurtrie, Reuben Margolin, Alan Rath, Adriana Salazar, Björn Schülke, and Che-Wei Wang.
