Summary:

<i>Interview with Hiroshi Ishiguro, Momoyo Torimitsu, Chris Henschke & Mark Boland</i> <i>Hiroshi Ishiguro</i> Professor Hiroshi Ishiguro is a director of the Intelligent Robotics Laboratory at Osaka University, Japan. A notable development of the laboratory is the<i> actroid</i>, a <i>humanoid robot</i> with lifelike appearance and visible behaviour such as facial movements. Ishiguro has made an android that resembles himself. Ishiguro's recent creations look like normal people. Robots, according to Ishiguro are poised to move from factories into daily life. The hope is that robots will one day help people with a multitude of tasks. <i>Momoyo Torimitsu</i> Momoyo Torimitsu (born Tokyo 1967), based in New York's, playfully<i> critiques contemporary Japanese culture</i> through works in sculpture, installation and video. "Miyata Jiro" is a reflection of Torimitsu's sharp and critical understanding of the culture created by Japan's rapid economic rise as a superpower. Simultaneously embodying and subverting the roles of worker and robot, she taps into<i> society's corporate fears</i> and <i>anxieties about work-life balance</i> and the respect accorded to each. Torimitsu has performed and exhibited widely. <i>Chris Henschke</i> Chris Henschke is a Melbourne-based artist who has been working with <i>digital media</i> for the past fifteen years. His main areas of research are in<i> art / science relationships</i>,<i> interactive and hybrid media</i> and <i>experimental audio</i>. Henschke is in a creative partnership 'Topologies' with Donna Kendrigan. His works have been shown in Australia and internationally. "Fissure" is a work inspired by geological illustrations and cross sections digitally recombined to create an enormous vinyl collage across the walls of the Federation Square Gallery, Melbourne. Henschke also has created a mural commission for Synchrotron, which stretched 20 m long. .
