FIRST HIT

Solo exhibition of Franco Palioff  @francopalioff at Erratum by appointment . 
5/02/2022 - 1/03/2022

This exhibition is a result of an artistic research on mechanisms of symbolic violence.

It consists of two robotic installations and one walking robot analyzing the visitor’s emotions while wandering across the gallery. This robot is called The Empathy & Moral Seeker. He is going to trigger the two installations depending if there's a critical amount of neutral/happy emotions in the room or if someone is experiencing anger/disgust/sadness.

One of the installations is a research on the mechanism of dominated/dominant/accomplices. The visitors are put as accomplices to trigger a violent act. As in our daily life (unfortunately).

The other installation is representing relationships of games/rats/violence, which according to the artist create an addictive circle.

All of the live emotional information is served online during the exhibition.

Each object and drawing in the space has a symbolic meaning which you can ask the artist about.

Please don’t be surprised by the sudden sounds which are the way the robots express their emotions.
