Today's conversation with interdisciplinary artist Amenda Tate is part two of our field trip series to Ames, Iowa! Amenda creates participatory artwork by pairing a robot of her own design with the physical, dancing movements of her participants. Asking questions about control, curiosity, and chance, her artwork visualizes questions about what it means to be human in a tech-saturated world.
