Ken Goldberg's telerobotic take on Berkeley in the 1960s
BB pal Ken Goldberg and his collaborators have launched a new and timely telerobotic project that provides a breathtakingly high-res view of UC Berkeley's Sproul Plaza, the fiery focal point for free speech in the 1960s.
"On the 40th anniversary of the Free Speech Movement, in the context of the PATRIOT Act, advances in technology, and the Presidential election, Demonstrate provides 24 hour public access to UC Berkeley's Sproul Plaza, where the student movement originated. The installation combines the world's most advanced networked robotic camera, a visual database, and a mathematical model of socio-ocular behavior. Beginning September 1, Demonstrate will be featured on the Whitney Museum of American Art's artport website."
