Robo sapiens : friend or foe?

Waiting Room 1.0 explores the mindset of artificial beings in a conversation between four robots. They are seated in a waiting room with 12 human listeners/spectators who get a chance to eavesdrop on their views and news.

The robots (Warrior, Buddy, Jester and Chasm) discuss the meaning of life, human sexuality, the art of war and the philosophical implications of making soup.
Octophonic spatialization.

Premiered at the Festival de Création Sonore et Radiophonique (Brussels 2001)
