The 2009 Annual Art + Technology Exhibition Opening Event is upon us. Partnering this year with The Robotics Institute of Carnegie Mellon University and Pittsburgh’s exclusive James Gallery, the event promises to be one like never before.
To celebrate Pittsburgh’s status as one of the foremost Robotic centers on the globe, the 15 Minutes Gallery has collaborated with CREATE Lab to present The BURGHBot Project — a collection of ten robotic, interactive art pieces, designed by selected artists throughout the East Coast.
In addition, the exhibition features work from 36 of the region’s finest artists in both traditional and new media, as well as presentations from tech companies including: Etcetera Edutainment’s Crowdplay; deeplocal’s artist-in-residence T. Foley’s Locally Toned; and Art Energy Design’s Power Flower, the region’s first 12’ tall sustainable energy technology public art sculpture.
To add to the excitement the Council is giving away two “Essential Pittsburgh Arts Prize Packages” to folks who register in advance for the event. This raffle prize includes complimentary tickets to Pittsburgh’s most illustrious Arts venues including — Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh, The Mattress Factory, The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, Quantum Theatre, The Pittsburgh Ballet, Pittsburgh Filmmakers and the Pittsburgh Public Theatre — a package valued at over $300!
Add that all up and mix it together with live Jazz music, drinks and hors d’oeuvres, and you have all the makings for a great night of creativity and innovation in Pittsburgh.
