Abstract
This chapter highlights a collaborative approach to curating robotic art that can occur due to the disruptive, responsive and interdisciplinary nature of its mediums and practitioners. Each of the case studies presented speaks to the exploratory capability of the artists, designers and engineers of this contemporary art form. Due to the experiential nature of the medium, the necessity for specialist (curator) and subject (artist/artwork) in the curator-artist relationship can be disrupted in favor of working together to facilitate experiences, stage experiments, build data, and extend often tension-filled experimental public practice into part of the cultural experience. Simply put, there is more than one expert at the table when these exhibitions are designed for human engagement.
