The fields of artificial intelligenceArtificial Intelligence (AI) (AI) and artificial life (ALife) and the increasing presence of robots and automataAutomata are having a large impact on society’s organization, values and beliefs. Although the desire to create and reproduce life is certainly not new, the fantasy of artificial intelligenceArtificial Intelligence (AI) and life is a powerful and contradictory one, embodying the longstanding desire to transcend the physical body and the materialMaterials conditions of material existence, while presenting these other life forms—robots, cyborgs, automatons—primarily in the human image. In this chapter, I will explore the often-complicated relationships between robots, automataAutomata, humans, plants and animals. Implicit in this paper is my understanding of robots as cultural and social beings and of the ethics in creating machine life that is not necessarily productive in the usual sense of the word. As an artist, I have been making automataAutomata and emotional machines for the last fifteen years, and in this chapter, I will explore these ideas the through the lens of my artworks. Contemporary robots, often including those made by artists, tend to retain a certain formal purity, consisting of hard, metallic, skeletal, usually humanoid forms. I am interested in furry robots, clothed robots, messy robots, emotional robots and in inserting these ‘beings’ into a rich natural, social, political and cultural matrix, where their actions are influenced by environmental, non-human factors, as well as human elements. Many of the issues presented in this research creation project have been formulated in works such as The Angry Machine, Messy Entanglements and Pelt (Bestiary).
