Noise 2014 & Robot Talk

Few updates over the past couple of weeks: Firstly the robot is set for a string of UK exhibitions I will not release information on this until I have proper confirmation from the institutions. Secondly the installation received an outstanding award from the Noise 2014 festival curators. (1.1)

Finally I had a really great time taking the installation to show the Bridlington Beavers, Cubs and Scouts. They engaged really well with the project and asked some interesting questions. (2.2)

I really enjoyed been at the opening night of the D&AD awards and It was very humbling to have my work picked for the front cover of the D&AD awards show website. 

The robot functioned amazing well throughout the whole day, running for around a period of approx 10 hours (4 of them totally unmanned) without any issues at all. This is the longest time I have allowed the robot to be active for. I really enjoyed seeing how people interacted with the project again after a week or so off from exhibiting it. In addition to this I also received the Huddersfield university: Chancellors award for outstanding performance (Professor Sir Patrick Stewart), which I am honoured to have been chosen for.  'insert girly scream' : massive fan of Star Trek and X-men..well all of Patrick Stewarts films.
