Abstract :
Technical developments, trends in popular culture and widespread interest in the scientific community can not account for the proliferation of robotic creatures in the art context, oddly neglected by art theory. In this paper we discuss robotic creation as a crucial domain for contemporary art theory taking as a point of reference the concepts of objecthood, interaction, conceptualisation and anthropomorphism.
