In this presentation WAUHAUS artists Jarkko Partanen and Jussi Matikainen open up the process and background of The Companion.
Through discussion and practical examples with some brave audience volunteers we delve into topics of anthropomorphism, empathy and non-human agency in a relaxed atmosphere. There will be a robot dog petting zoo at the end of the presentation.
