+=====18th Century=====
+**Jacques de Vaucanson** (1709) Built robots to serve dinner to politicians. His most famous work is the [[wp>Digesting Duck]]:
+{{:duck_of_vaucanson.jpg|}}
+<blockquote>Voltaire wrote that “without [...] the duck of Vaucanson, you have nothing to remind you of the glory of France.” (”Sans…le canard de Vaucanson vous n’auriez rien qui fit ressouvenir de la gloire de la France.”) This is often misquoted as “Without the shitting duck, we would have nothing to remind us of the glory of France.”</blockquote>

+====Robots as art====
+  * [[http://www.senster.com/|Senster]] by Edward Ihnatowicz, 15 feet long sound reactive sculpture commissioned by Phillips for exhibition in Eindhoven
+  * Nam June Paik and Shuya Abe [[http://www.mediaartnet.org/works/robot-k-456/|Robot K-456]] Named after Mozart's piano concerto (Köchel's number 456), the robot first performed in a private space (Robot Opera, at Judson Hall, in collaboration with Charlotte Moorman) and on the streets, both as part of the Second Annual New York Avant-Garde Festival. As Paik guided it through the streets, K-456 played a recording of John F. Kennedy's inaugural address and excreted beans. K-456 is now in the Hauser and Wirth private collection, in Zürich.
+  * [[http://www.olats.org/schoffer/eindex.htm|Nicolas Schöffer]] cybernetic art through painting, sculpture and town planning.
+  * [[http://www.crashingart.com/|David Karave]] believes that robots are the next step in art history:
+   - Early painting (1 dimensional rendition)
+   - Modern painting (2 dimensional rendition)
+   - Sculpture (3 dimensional rendition)
+   - Photograph (2 dimensional representation)
+   - Moving image (2 dimensional rendition/representation in time)
+   - Robotics (3 dimensional rendition in time)
+   - Cinematic Theatre/Holograms/genetic art (3 dimensional representation in time)
+  * [[http://www.srl.org/|Survival Research Labs]] Industrial scale robotic performance, with lots of explosions.
+  * [[http://www.livingsculpture.com/|Yves Amu Klein]] wearable robots, parallels with Lirec research:
+<blockquote>
+Imagine being able to wear bracelets, earrings, badges, and necklaces that develop an intimate relationship with you, reacting to you in many different ways. This is the goal of Living Jewelry. Each piece of Living Jewelry can learn to recognize different qualities in your voice and movement, discovering more of your personality and behavior.</blockquote>
