Science fiction becomes reality: robotics has taken on a growing role in our lives for a number of years now. Design is at the interface between humans and this robotic environment, going beyond the mere design of form and function.

Hello, Robot. Design between Human and Machine included more than 200 exhibits from industry and the home. They all illustrate how much our lives are already permeated by robots, even in the most intimate domains. The exhibition broadened our view of the ethical, social and political questions that arise as our environment becomes increasingly robotic. It featured our video artwork Walking City.
