Coffeebots at Roboexotica

elektropunk Schreib einen Kommentar

Our first guest-performance in Austria!

Roboexotica is a great festival for cocktailrobotics happening since 1999. It tookplace for the first time in Linz this year organized by the artist collective dh5. Well, we thought that would be the perfect place for the Coffeebots to play, followed the call for robots and got invited. So we paused the work on the upcoming theatre play (Yes, it will be a Sci-Fi story) and put together a program packed with songs about longdrinks, booze and cocktails and started rehearsing.

Beginning of September johl and e-punc got the Bots ready for the journey and boarded the train. Arriving in Linz we got a warm welcome by the great people at culture space „Damen & Herrenstraße 5“. So here’s a shoutout to the cocktail-robots and their makers:

„The Borg Cube“
„Moscow Mule to go“ portable wodka & gingerbeer mixer for the mobil robotica

„Prostate Hero“ oil up your finger earn your drink!
„Shot ‚em Up“ Shoot 10 bottles before time runs out and win one of four different longdrinks
„Vodka Roulette“ Get a shot of water or vodka depending on your luck
„Kaffeemaschine mit Schuss“
„Dirty Wurstino“ Martini with a shot of Wurstwasser and a tiny sausage
„Old Sparky“ Sausage-electrocution
„Tankie“ face recognizing pet-tank
„Lounge Music Machine“ by Mitch Altman playing songs and writing lyrics especially for you
„Piano Robot“

It’s the end of the pandemic year 2020 so the Coffeebots chose a wonderful christmas-song by one of the greatest bands ever to sing-a-long:
Fairytale of New York by The Pogues
Of course the filming took place considering the social distancing rules and it kind of matches the beautiful lyrics.
Thanks a lot to Miriam who helped puppeteering and filming.

Whish you all nice and relaxed holidays and a geat 2021!

Wird ja langsam Zeit für eine Energiewende, insofern setzt sich hier Dottore Spiralo für den Wechsel von Gas zu Solarzellen ein, um seinen Espresso zu machen…

Coffeebots

elektropunk 1 Kommentar

I do like coffee. One of my preferred ways of brewing it is with the moka pot (caffettiera, macchinetta) or in German just Espressokanne.

Unfortunately I did forget it on the gas stove more than once. Sometimes I was able to rescue the pot, other times it was just burnt and I had to get a new one (unable to throw the old ones out, of course). So over the years the collection of aluminium pots grew and on some drunken nights we discovered their artistic potential.

Now (as of April 2020) during the Corona-lockdown I had a lot of time to do some senseless but fun projects. So turning the discarded espresso-makers into marionettes with some screws, nuts and bolts the gang came to live and formed the Coffebots.
