about the art

We invite you to meet the BAND, five autonomous robots visiting Cleveland Public Library. This new collaborative installation is the creative work of Samuel Borkson & Arturo Sandoval III, FriendsWithYou, whose aim is to inspire connection and compassion between all of us. 

the BAND, which stands for Biodigital Autonomous Neuro Dancers, has journeyed to our planet from a distant dimension where sound is matter. A mix of biology and digital technology, the robots have come to share their healing power with humanity.

Each robot is programmed with an individual personality and frequency. As you mingle with the robots, look for their unique behaviors and listen for the sounds they emit roaming through Brett Hall. The ensemble will perform a dance choreographed to music by composer Norman Bambi which you can watch from the “calm zone” on the perimeter of the Hall. FriendsWithYou invites visitors to this installation to experience a new way of interacting with technology that blends art and digital innovation.
