Robots and legendary electronica pioneer Karl Bartos to visit Estonia
during Plektrum Festival 2010
The Plektrum Festival, which runs in Tallinn from 25 August to 5
September, will feature robots and a chance to see the giant steps made
by robotic technology in the form of lectures, films, exhibitions and
music. Both this year's Plektrum and next year's festival are part of
the Tallinn 2011 European Capital of Culture programme.
The theme of this year's Plektrum - the eight in festival history - is
“Would you love a robot?” The cultural festival will illuminate the
crossroads between humankind, technology and contemporary culture.
The premier guest of the festival is world-renowned electronic music
legend Karl Bartos, who was a core member of Kraftwerk in 1975-1991,
responsible for popular tracks from acclaimed albums such as
Radio-Activity, Trans Europe Express, The Man Machine, Computer World
and Tour de France. Bartos, from 2004 to 2009 professor for Auditory
Media Design at Berlin University of the Arts, will deliver a lecture on
the development of music and technology at the KUMU Art Museum of
Estonia auditorium and will play an au- dio-visual concert at Rock Cafe.
Plektrum will also feature robots. Thanks to technological development,
these “man machines” are now almost indistinguishable from their
creators. We might even ask: are we prepared to love a robot, and what
will that take? Over the course of 10 days, Plektrum will offer a chance
to get to know modern robotic technology, listen to robot-inspired music
and watch fi lms, construct simple robots on a whole-family-oriented
robotics day, draw inspiration from leading thinkers at the lecture
series “Think Machine” (Mõttemasin) and meet robots form Estonian pop
culture on the streets of Tallinn.
Besides Bartos, the festival will feature artists from Estonia, the
Nordic countries, Germany, Austria, France, Israel, Russia and elsewhere.
The festival venues are Von Krahl Theater and Bar (the festival centre),
KUMU Art Museum of Estonia, Rock Cafe, the Disaini ja
Arhitektuurigalerii (Design and Architecture gallery), the Uus-Maailm
neighbourhood in Tallinn, No Teater, various places and installations
city-wide (Harju
park, Vabaduse väljak (Freedom Square), and the nearby greensward around
St. John's Church.
Plektrum Festival is one of the key events of Tallinn as European
Capital of Culture both this year and next.
