Adam Donovan
Katrin Hochschuh and Adam Donovan are a collaborative artistic duo working at the intersection of art, science and technology. Their experimental artistic research is focused on developing robotics as immersive empathetic inclusive artworks, investigating different robotic platforms and behaviours that emerge from technological possibilities and interaction.
Their participatory robotic sculptures question the role of the human, perception and social implications of technology. Incorporating phenomena like non-linear acoustics into their work, they explore the intangible aspects of physics, amplify their effects, and use them to create new mediums and experiences. Both Katrin and Adam have profound knowledge in programming respectively electronics and hardware design, enabling their unbound creativity in developing their creatures.
The duo perform and exhibit internationally and are part of the European Media Arts Platform. Their artwork is collected by ZKM Karlsruhe. Their works and machines invoke an otherness or timelessness that is only present in the here and now.
