Muskart – Die Robotcamera (The Robotcamera)
One of the most technically innovative and popular formats at “Piazza virtuale” was the “robotcamera”, which the audience could move through the studio on a rail under the ceiling via the telephone keypad. It not only allowed a look behind the scenes of “Piazza virtuale”, but also enabled personal conversations with its makers. The camera was built by Hamburg-based artist Nicolas Anatol Baginsky (http://www.baginsky.de), who is known for his kinetic works and robot sculptures and who cooperated with Hinnerk Schmidt on the “robotcamera”.
