#CatRoyale

2023-04-02

It’s nearly the end of #CatRoyale: #BlastTheory’s latest installation, at the #WorldScienceFestival in Brisbane, in which an automated robot arm attempts to learn how best to play with cats to make them happy.

A perfect blend of art, technology, critical thinking, provocation, political commentary and #cats. (Who are all very well looked after, don’t worry.)

Finishes tomorrow, but you can see highlight videos and find out more at the Blast Theory website:

My favourite episode yet on youtu.be/TEr6MkoteT0 Clover once again steals the show with cat parkour and some rough play with the orange bird.

I've been ready for the Johnny Mnemonic implants since the 90's, but would I trust AI with my pets? 3 kitties spend 12 days with a robot arm to keep them entertained. The AI offers activities for the cats, learning what makes them happier. Day 3 and it's all about ball games youtube.com/watch?v=60G2tHU5frA
