Roboexotica is a festival for cocktail robotics that has been taking place since 1999. Artists, researchers, technicians and hobbyists from all over the world come together once a year to present robots and apparatuses that can mix or serve cocktails. The festival is organised by the monochrom group in cooperation with Shifz. The cultural association DH5 in Herrenstraße is inviting Roboexotica to Linz for the first time from 9-12 September during Ars Electronica. The premise, “robots mixing cocktails,” is an ironically fractured statement. In addition to the practical presentation of machines, the event also deals on a philosophical level with technology hypes, science credulity, the sociology of technology and historical changes in the presentation and marketing of technology. V. Vale described Roboexotica as an “ironic attempt to critique techno-triumphalism and dissect technological hypes”.
