Peter Foucault has developed circumstances in which small robots will interact with Bay Area visual, performance, and sound artists, along with the public to create a series of large-scale, abstract drawing compositions. The majority of the works shown will be created on-site over the course of the exhibition, transforming the gallery into an active project space that will constantly be generating new images, ideas and synchronicities.
