The prize-winner Norman White is a pioneer in the use of electronics and Robotics in art. His machine and robot creations enrich the discourse in the field of ‘New media’ for decades. Through his experimentation, Norman White in electronic art has developed pioneering works. Already at the end of the 1960s, Norman White works before the era of the computer with kinetic electronics. White sees the computer as freely programmable interfaces between man and machine, and as a universal brains for robots. For him, computers are not compliant tools that limit creativity, but ‘ fun-house mirrors’. He presented his work primarily in the social space, where they perform an unprepared audience against anonymous. To match his still tireless commitment in the ‘Rawbotics’ and the he invented ‘ Sumo robot challenges’. Silke Neumann BUREAU N
