ABSTRACT

This article explores the mode of robots in three digital performance works, Huang Yi’s Huang Yi and KUKA(2013), Hirata Oriza’s I, Worker(2008), Yulhyul Arts Group’s Unstable Ver.4 - Defeat the Robot(2014) and analyses the ontological implications of the robots in relation to the humans. These three works take different modes of presence of robots: the first two works operate a way of making present, making fictions present to an audience, meanwhile the third work emphasises presence between their literally ‘being-there’ and absence. However, these works share antianthropocentrism on the superiority of the human over the robot, refuse the opposite relations between them, propose the robot’s potential as an entity having emotion and cognition, and reframe the concept of human beings.
