The Anti-Robot Inundation Army is an ongoing art project exploring media, propaganda, data, information, knowledge, and web programming. The robot represents many things good and bad, though primarily bad: mass media, advertising, mass culture, corporatism, and propaganda in all its forms. The project seeks to express these concepts through mail art, graffiti art, stickers, fine art, blogs, and Twitter/Facebook and Web apps. The Robot’s mantra is, “Program or be programmed.” No action is futile and if the project adds a little more noise to the spectacle it will have been successful. The Robot is an artist bot who has been working in various mediums since it was a small automaton. From a purely artistic standpoint, The Robot is a muralist working mostly in acrylics and spray paint. The Robot enjoys creating abstract art using shades, tones, and lots of dots. The Robot’s formal training as a biblio-bot is reflected in its works exploring data, information, knowledge, propaganda, and media. The Robot also works with oils, crayons, opaque watercolors, and occasional stencil art graffiti (don’t try this at home) and is still active in mail art.

Opening reception: April 19th 1:30-3:30
