Robot Nao

(Slo)

Robot Nao je instalacija – predstava, kjer robota Naa srečamo v  sodobnem vsakdanjem okolju, v katerem nas gosti in v izpovednem žanru z nami podeli tegobe in radosti, kakršnih smo običajno vajeni pri svojih prijateljih in sosedih.
            Avtor robotu podeli nekakšno sodobno obliko romantične identitete ter s tem ponovi gesto, ki jo v zgodovini fantastične literature prva opravi Mary Shelley v Frankensteinu, morda le z blagim ironičnim in humornim zasukom. Srhoja zanima prav tisti hipotetični zasuk, pri katerem se tehnofobija profanira in kjer robot pridobi človeško subjektiviteto, vključno z vsemi bizarnostmi, ki so ji po navadi prisojene.

(En)

Robot Nao is an installation-performance in which we meet the robot Nao and are welcomed into a contemporary, everyday environment. In a confessional genre, he shares with us his worries and joys in the same way a friend or neighbor might do. 
            The author bestows the robot with a contemporary form of a romantic identity, thus repeating the first such gesture made in the history of the fantasy literary genre, by Mary Shelley with Frankenstein, though perhaps with only a slightly ironic and humorous twist this time. Srhoj is interested exactly in the hypothetical twist in which technophobia becomes profane and the robot acquires a human subjectivity, including all the bizarreness that it is usually accused of.
