Robot Love presenteert een actueel thema: wat betekent het om mens te zijn in de context van robotica en kunstmatige intelligentie en hoe kunnen we bepaalde onderscheidende kwaliteiten behouden nu mens en machine letterlijk samensmelten? Robot Love is een combinatie van kunst, neurowetenschappen, robotica en ethiek en probeert een antwoord te formuleren op de vraag: kunnen we van robots leren over liefde?Dit rijk geïllustreerde boek vergezelt de grootschalige Robot Love-tentoonstelling met 60 internationale kunstenaars op het snijvlak van kunst, technologie en samenleving, onder wie Hito Steyerl, Roger Hiorns en L.A. Raeven. Gerenommeerde auteurs en wetenschappers als Margaret Atwood, Reza Negarestani, Minoru Asada maken ons bewust van 'science fiction becoming science fact'.

"In the past two decades, artists, and writers have increasingly adopted the idea that science fiction can be understood as a lens through which to search for fragments of truth emerging from the past or the future, and the proliferation of science fiction in contemporary art practice and discourse reflects an increased understanding of how this narrative field continues to grow in relevance. Split into four distinct approaches, "estrangement," "futures," "posthumanism," and "ecologies," this unique collection gathers key examples of the influence of science fiction in recent cultural development: from the integration and acceleration of technological change, to global urbanization and concepts of futurity; from the boundaries of social structures and non-human life, to the threatening self-evidence of climate change. This book is the first major anthology to focus on relationships between science fiction and contemporary art, and is an essential read for all those exploring this vital genre. Artists surveyed include Denenge Akpem, Laylah Ali, Allora & Calzadilla, Pawel Althamer, Carol Bove, Lee Bul, Mark Dion, Jimmie Durham, Ellen Gallagher, Robert Gober, Eduardo Kac, Mikhail Karikis, Patrick Keiller, Karen Kilimnik, Jeff Koons, Moon Kyungwon and Jeon Joonho, Lawrence Lek, Paul McCarthy, Mariko Mori, David Musgrave, Otolith Group, Eduardo Paolozzi, Kiki Smith, Sun Ra, Suzanne Treister, Jeff Wall. Writers include Peio Aguirre, Margaret Atwood, J.G. Ballard, Tiffany E. Barber, Jean Baudrillard, Franco 'Bifo' Beradi, Rosie Braidotti, Rachel Carson, Jeffrey Deitch, Donna Haraway, Cathy Lane, Amna Malik, Tom McCarthy, Alondra Nelson, Gwyneth Shanks, Jan Tumlir, Xin Wang, Gilda Williams"--

Saskia Olde Wolbers has a taste for stories in which the characters become victims of their own imaginations, unable to tell dream from reality. In her videos, detached voice-overs recount the unlikely dramas of her protagonists; abstract visuals look like digital dreamscapes but are in fact meticulously built miniature film sets.




The Dutch video artist Saskia Olde Wolbers (*1971, lives in London) has attracted international attention over the last few years with exhibitions throughout Europe. In 2003, her work in the "Statements" section of the Basel Art Fair received the Baloise Art Prize.

The works of Saskia Olde Wolbers are extremely popular. Her films even fascinate viewers unfamiliar with the art world. Although there are no actors involved, Wolbers's tales provoke emotional reactions. The protagonists are only present through the voice of the off-screen narrator. Wolbers's moving, painterly vocabulary of abstract forms surprisingly reveals itself as a visual correspondence to the storyline. The actual plot develops as a fiction in the mind of the perceiver.

In both video installations Placebo and Interloper, Wolbers narrates one identical story from each of the points of view of two lovers. They lie together in intensive care after a serious car crash. From the woman's version (Placebo), we learn about her suspicion that her lover, supposedly a married doctor, could have been deceiving her for years about his profession and his marital status. The model-like representation of a hospital room progressively fades away as the true story is shockingly revealed.

The artist's images and stories seem to be familiar to us, despite the relative absence of any spatial or temporal orientation in her films. In fact, Saskia Olde Wolbers's work refers to true TV or newspaper reports. However, the artist changes and expands the story at her own discretion. The protagonists thereby land in a spatially and temporally displaced meta-world, literally the artificial world of fiction. Saskia Olde Wolbers reminds us of the basic conditions with which the medium of moving images functions: on the one hand, the attraction of an imaginary, yet living reality; on the other hand, the tragedy of melodrama.
