DESCRIPTION:[b]On Flying and Sonic Robots: Interacting Bodies and Sonic At
 mospheres in Human-Robot Interaction[/b]\nThis talk examines human-robot 
 interaction through a sociological lens\, drawing on preliminary find-ing
 s from a research project on the use of (autoomous) drones in the perform
 ing arts. It investigates what unfolds when drones become co-performers\,
  turning the stage into a site of technoscientific ex-perimentation. The 
 work of Moritz Geist with sonic robots offers a parallel exploration of r
 obotic agency in musical contexts. Framed by the material turn in the hum
 anities and social sciences\, the talk addresses questions of (non)human 
 agency. The presentation investigates how heterogeneous bodies—human and 
 robotic—co-create space\, sound\, and experience in the performing arts a
 nd considers how artistic practices become laboratories for rethinking ev
 eryday encounters with autonomous systems.\n\n[i]Matthias Wieser [/i]is A
 ssociate Professor at the Department of Media and Communications at the U
 niversity of Klagenfurt\, Austria. Trained in Sociology and Cultural Stud
 ies.\n\n[b]Cyborg Identities: Living Machines and Otherness[/b]\nLiving m
 achines in art and design extend to other forms of intelligence by mimick
 ing\, employing\, and drawing attention to neglected companions. They als
 o embrace new materialism and feminist posthumanist theories. These machi
 nes embody cyborg identities\, which\, as Haraway (1991) explains\, 'do n
 ot dream of communities on the model of the organic family but rather enc
 ourage a plasticity of identity to highlight the socially imposed limitat
 ions'. They therefore contribute to the development of a posthuman coexis
 tence.\n\n[i]Fara Peluso[/i][b] [/b]is a bioartist\, speculative designer
  and researcher. With a strong interest in Biology\, she pursues a deep r
 esearch on living organisms like microalgae\, lichen and fungi\, enquirin
 g into their poetics and agency through a speculative design methodology.
 \n\n[b]Entangled on Stage: The Robot as Performer\, The Robot as Performa
 nce[/b]\nIn the intersection of art and technology\, performing with robo
 ts presents a unique fascination\, as the role of the performer is distri
 buted between human and machine. This shared authorship and agency reflec
 t a deeper\, more intricate relationship—one that mirrors the evolving en
 tanglements between humans and robots\, humans and AI\, and other life-si
 mulating technologies in everyday life. Centering on the robot’s corporea
 lity and the concept of techno-parenthood\, the research explores the lay
 ered dynamics of these relationships and the collaborative artistic agenc
 y embedded in robotic media art performance\, specifically highlighting i
 mpactful soft robotic performance.\n\n[i]Andrea Tesanovic[/i] is a PhD re
 searcher whose work emerges at the nexus of robotics\, science fiction li
 terature\, media art and performance\, and the sociology of life-like tec
 hnologies. \n\n[b]The Sounds of Softness: Robot Materialities\, Imaginari
 es\, and Sound[/b]\nIn this short talk\, I will discuss elements of our w
 ork on the robot SONŌ. SONŌ began its life as a re-search prototype creat
 ed to explore the potential of adding sound to soft robotics (robotics te
 chnolo-gies constructed from pliable and elastic materials). The work sta
 rted from a simple and open ques-tion - what does a soft robot sound like
 ? It branched off to involve a diverse set of activities including studyi
 ng cultural sonic imaginaries\, conducting empirical human-robot interact
 ion studies\, and developing an exhibited robotic artwork.\n\n[i]Jonas Jø
 rgensen[/i][b] [/b]is Associate Professor at the SDU Biorobotics (Univers
 ity of Southern Denmark) and co-director of the SDU Soft Robotics researc
 h laboratory [url=https://www.sdu.dk/en/forskning/dias/research/wicked-gr
