| The 26-foot tall Metrobot is the sidewalk ambassador for The Contemporary Arts Center. Its towering presence not only communicates The Center's location but also imparts messages about exhibitions and events on its electronic message-board-arm and tells time on its wrist-watch-clock. Video monitors and a public telephone located in its legs invite passers-by to interact with the piece. Nam June Paik is internationally known as a pioneer in using electronic media in the visual arts. Metrobot was a private commission for the 50th anniversary of The Center and the 200th anniversary of the city. <- PREVIOUS | NEXT -> |
