Stelarc also plans to finish the ear-project soon. He wants to install a Bluetooth system which will allow his third ear to ‘hear’ other people in different parts of the planet.

The work by French artist Paul Granjon under the title ‘Sexed robots’ is another one of the organizers’ pride and joy. The two robots’ main and only activity is permanent love making. The robots will move around the hall, doing what they were made for.

Canada’s Nicolas Reeves’ robotic project will be represented in flying cubes. The project is based on the idea of the ‘flying city’ by the Soviet avant-garde architect, Georgy Krutikov. Reeves made three light cubes inflated with gas, and equipped with computers and engines. The flying objects move in the space feeling the borders of it and behave as a flock of birds. “Holding them still is the most difficult thing to do”, says artist Dmitry Bulatov, the curator of the project.

Bulatov says he has always wanted to show what modern art can be to Russian people. “It’s not a secret that as our technology is least developed – art of the sociopolitical plan prevails. But any art cannot be stirred by the presence or absence of technologies”.
