🏆 Award of Distinction · Prix Ars Electronica 2018
Kohei Ogawa, Takashi Ikegami, Hiroshi Ishiguro and Itsuki Doi's “Alter” was honoured with an Award of Distinction at the Prix Ars Electronica 2018, category Interactive Art.
*Alter* is a robot developed for the purpose of exploring what it means to be “life-like.” In contrast with the *Otonaroid*, *Alter* appears to be a machine that has been stripped bare. However, it expresses life-likeness through complex movements.
