Knowbotic Research

Knowbotic Research (KR+cF) develops hybrid models of knowledge generation. These models are complex dynamic fields which produce an exchange between virtual agents, poetic machines and interactive visitors. They enable an observer the physical exploration and construction of networked rules and strategies of the new public spheres. KR+cF outlines technoid events parallel in real and virtual spaces to investigate the experience of the multiple layers of reality. These extensions of the cultural environment provoke new cultural and aesthetical parameters in order to prevent an ideological closed circuit in an information based society.

KR+cF, Yvonne Wilhelm, Alexander Tuchacek, Christian Huebler, is based in Cologne, Academy for Media Arts. With the partners of Westbank Industries and Tactile Technology KR+cF has founded mem_brane, a laboratory for media strategies. KR+cF has got major international Media Art Awards.
