Damn you fran, my dear friend of most remarkable and continuous Autobiographical Locality, has once again found herself afoot in vienna for Roboexotica with famous art interventionists Monochrom (wikipedia: Monchrom) mixing robots with alcohol.
Link to Fran’s tale:
I naturally then made my way to Roboexotica 2006 where Johannnes in his trucker hat was directing fan traffic. As usual there was no shortage of robot stunts. I walked between a scultpural catapult cocktail maker, a machine that simulated drunken driving…Han was peddling his robo-cocktail dorkbot t-shirts and I vowed to go back for more today….While in the last few weeks it has been a busy and crazy time in my work life and life all around, I am glad I came back to beautiful Vienna where the gold winks at you and pushes you along her well-proportioned streets encouraging you to let go.

From Boingboing, See also video of Fran, Johannes, Cory Doctorow and co. on Austrian community TV last year. Love the mock-seriousness with which they manage to conduct the discussion on this very important conference of international cocktail robotics.
