                                  Stefan Doepner (D) - Robot Partner 0.2 
                                  Robot Partner 0.2 - Automated Table Modification is part of meta-project Robot Partner, where Doepner combines art, science, humanities and technology. The project aims towards understanding the basics and relations of partnership, between living beings as well between humans and machines. In relation to these questions, the project views contemporary ideals, ideas and images of progress ("Fortschritt") in searching, poetic, witty and absurd ways. The table installation Robot Partner 0.2 - Automated Table Modification – where objects are in permanent alternated movement – on one hand shows possible applications of service-automation in everyday life with a focus on the absurdity of the result, on the other hand with a focus on the poetic moment which emerges out of this absurdity and thereby offers the spectator a possibility for reflexion about his own position.
