As part of an interactive, one-hour presentation/performance in a workshop format, SILK Fluegge asks: What happens when a human and an artificial entity start to interact? How do they begin to approach one another?

SPOTSHOTBEUYS is an interactive performance featuring urban-contemporary dancer Silke Grabinger as she encounters "Spot", the robot dog.  In contrast to Joseph Beuys' performance "I Like America and America Likes Me", the dog is no longer the natural entity.

As the performance unfolds, we begin to inevitably question roles: Who is the threat coming from, who controls whom, or who can/must be “tamed” by whom?

A partnership between the Circus of Knowledge, Silk Fluegge, and the JKU Institute of Mechatronics.
