Antigoni Tsagkaropoulou, together with invited lecturer Anna Maria Velentza, will deliver a lecture-performance that explores the affective components of technology, as well as the edges, limits, and ethics of socially assistive robots.

By deconstructing the traditional man/machine dichotomy, can we create a space that allows for intimacy, vulnerability and care? Is it acceptable to develop feelings for BB the Pet Robot?
