We’re a man down this week, but the solemn duty of being a cultural anarchist cannot be stopped by a mere superhero movie, no matter how justified the antagonist is.  Two Thanoses (is that the correct plural, or is it like octopus so it would be Thani?), do not make a right.  Kicking things off is the unsurprising (seriously, if you’re still shocked by this where have you been?), news that Grr Martin will not release the Winds of Winter in 2018, but will release another, Westeros-related book - which is actually something we kind-of sort-of already knew …  In other news there’s a lot of legal argy-bargy with To Kill A Mockingbird’s stage adaptation, a judgement on Richard III, Amazon reviews of James Comey’s scandalous tell-all book, and a couple of studies that tell us things we already knew.  After all of that it’s time to kick back and relax with pictures of toy robots and doughnuts (other deserts are there as well), in our featured book Robotic Existentialism: The Art of Eric Joyner.

For this label Curator JoAnne Northrup talks about how art history has influenced the work of Eric Joyner. For the exhibition Robots: Evolution of a Cultural Icon the San Jose Museum of Art created "Video Labels" for around the work of 6 artists. The artists are Clayton Bailey, Eric Joyner, Nemo Gould, Gail Wight, Lisa Solomon and David Pace. For each artist there is a "Curators Label", where Senior Curator JoAnne Northrup speaks about the artist, and an "Artist Label", where the artist talks about their work. Show runs April 12 - October 19, 2008. Robots: Evolution of a Cultural Icon examines the development of robot iconography in fine art over the past 50 years. In 1920, the term robot was coined from a Czech word robota, which means tedious labor. Since then, the image and the idea of a robot have evolved remarkably from an awkward, mechanical creature to a sophisticated android with artificial intelligence and the potential for human-like consciousness. As robotic technology catches up with the wild imagination of science fiction novels, movies, and animation, dreams and fears anticipated in these stories may also become reality. Artists included in the exhibition have responded to the technological innovation with optimism, pessimism, and humor, presenting work that ultimately explores our ambivalent attitudes towards robots.
