With his art practice, Emanuel Gollob (AT) (b. 1991) bridges aesthetic research, human-A.I. interaction, neuroscience and robotics. The spectator’s emotions when perceiving his works are most important to him. In his projects, he explores different techniques of interacting with them. Gollob graduated at the University of Applied Arts Vienna with a diploma in Design Investigation (2019). His work has recently been exhibited at Laboral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial (Gijón, SP), Ars Electronica (Linz, AT) and Liedts-Meesen Foundation (Ghent, BE), among others. Currently, he is in residency at MindSpaces, an EU research project in the STARTS initiative framework. Since 2020, he is a PhD candidate and part of the Fashion and Robotics research team at the University of Art and Design Linz.
