Mission

Public squares used to be central places of social interaction and individual's engagement in public life. Often, monuments were raised on these spots in order to symbolize and represent the political/ social state/ orientation of the country.

Robovox is the first public monument which travels from country to country. At the same time, it activates public space into a place of communication, social interaction and playground. As a sculpture it symbolises  active engagement in public life/ matters by giving you the opportunity to speak about public matters, to provoke debates and thus reflect the state of mind of each society.

The Author's primary interest in the project is an artistic exploration of ways of expression of an individual and her/his role in the conglomerate of the otherwise statistically unified results of public opinion polls. Therefore, Robovox is also an attempt for further research of conditions of communication in different parts of the World.
