“Opto-Isolator” is an interactive robot which returns the visitor’s gaze, and responds with a variety of uncanny eye gestures. Last week, I installed a new version of the project in the “Decode: Digital Design Sensations” exhibition at the Victoria & Albert Museum, in London. The BBC has kindly provided this interview video about Opto-Isolator II, recorded while I was preparing the installation. The Opto-Isolator artwork series was produced with the assistance of Standard Robot, Inc. and with support from bitforms gallery NYC, the Creative Capital Foundation, the Berkman Faculty Development Fund, and the Pennsylvania Counil on the Arts.
