Knowbotic Research
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Knowbotic Research is a German-Swiss electronic art group, established in 1991. Its members are Yvonne Wilhelm, Christian Hübler and Alexander Tuchacek.
The group has experimented with the intersection of technology, information and knowledge, interface and networked agency. In their more recent work, they create media-based projects that try to intervene in the (physical or digital) public domain. Their work has been exhibited widely and has received several prizes, including two Prix Ars Electronica Golden Nicas (in 1994 and 1998). They finished Kern Media university and started their artistic activities. Knowbotic is a coinage that combined “knowledge” with “robot”, meaning intellectual agent on the Internet. Knowbotic has developed some projects themed on an information environment and a computer interface. Since 1998, it has become more flexible, and with these main three of them, different members from various fields such as art, science, and philosophy, have joined in each program. In 1997, it worked with Japanese art group, Canon Art Lab, in Tokyo. This project aimed at revealing the function of the city by interacting between real and virtual world.
