SOFT TISSUES

19 OCT AT PILAR: SOFT TISSUES TRY OUT BY UGO DEHAES

In his previous robot performances, @ugodehaes replaced his dancers with robots because it was cheaper, and because it made it easier for him to archive his performances. As a result, he discovered the ease of working with robots: they don’t complain, do exactly what you ask them to, and think in ones and zeros. Socially speaking, that’s very convenient.

In Soft Tissues, Ugo uncovers the soft, fragile and insecure little robotic beings hidden beneath the hard shell of robots. For this project, Ugo is exploring the world of ‘soft robotics’ in collaboration with the VUB.

"Soft Tissues" takes place twice.

Time slot 1 / 17:30: Guided tour of Laura Vandewynckel’s exhibition The Parliament of the Pitiful, followed by the try-out of Ugo Dehaes’ Soft Tissue

Time slot 2 / 20:00: Guided tour of Laura Vandewynckel’s exhibition The Parliament of the Pitiful, followed by the try-out of Ugo Dehaes’ Soft Tissue

Tickets will soon be online through the website of @fti_festival.
