From the press release for ArtBots 2003:

New York City, NY - Now in its second year, ArtBots: The Robot Talent Show will take place on July 12th and 13th from noon to 6:00pm at Eyebeam Gallery in Manhattan’s Chelsea art district. Featuring the work of 23 artists and groups from six countries, the show is a hybrid combining aspects of both a juried art exhibition and a traditional talent show. Participants include robots that draw, paint, sculpt, sing, dance, and play musical instruments, as well as many with talents that are a bit harder to pin down; you might call them robotic sculpture or even cybernetic performance artists!
