SUPERTOYS: On Play, Affective Machines and Object Relations
Bristol, Nov 22 - Jan 18

Exhibition with works by Codemanipulator, Chris Cunningham, Dunne & Raby,
Natalie Jeremijenko, Kahve Society, Alex McLean, Philippe Parreno, Unmask
Group.
Supertoys is part factory, part zoo and part play area. In the
exhibition, artists, technologists, children and adults examine how toys
operate as transitional objects in allowing feelings to be carried
between the human subject and external objects. The show also explores
the idea of reciprocal relationships with intelligent toys and robots,
and our related hopes and fears.
The exhibition is accompanied by a symposium, film season, online
project and a series of events and activities.

Do they last all summer long?

Wait, I guess they name-checked that already.

Good to see something come out of it besides a film most remembered for its ARG.
