We all knew the day would come when robots would take over the world. And so it has begun; eight of them have taken over Trafalgar Square, and they're transmitting messages straight from your computer. Thankfully they mean us no harm – these robots are part of an art installation at the London Design Festival, created for good rather than evil by Reed Kram and Clemens Weisshaar together with a team at Audi – whose warehouses the robots have lived in up until now. A team of metalworkers, builders, robotic engineers, computer engineers and software developers have come together to join the physical and the virtual in order to give the public control over eight robotic machines, submitting messages to be drawn by the robots in elegant dance-like movements. You can submit your own message by visiting http://www.outrace.org/ and have it splayed across one of the most famous monuments in the world. By robots. That dance. https://youtube.com/watch?v=c4reDdBeNKA [Via Core77]
