Studio Lecture Series: Three Things a Robot Cannot Do

TONIGHT, THURSDAY, NOV. 15, 5:30PM. OSHMAN HALL, MCMURTRY BUILDING. 

Elizabeth King combines figurative sculpture with stop-frame animation in works that blur the boundary between actual and virtual object. Intimate in scale and made to solicit close looking, her work reflects her interest in the history of the puppet, the automaton and literature’s host of legends in which the artificial figure comes to life. King's studio lecture touches on the mind/body riddle, the science of emotion, the human/machine interface and what the direct gaze means in an increasingly mediated world.
