Domo-kun meets kissbot
Toronto, Canada.
If only Domo-kun could relax a little... maybe something beautiful could happen. This is just one of many kissbots that are featured in a very special Nuit Blanche installation called, "Public Display of Affection" and can be explored this coming October 3rd in Cabbagetown.

Kissbots are a single-minded, single-use bot. We have to work hard for them, applying lipstick, setting their catch, making the kiss sounds that light them up as they count to the prime number that triggers them. And then? They fall over, adding a kiss print to the collective array, generating a paper output of all that work.
Why do we work so hard for them? Because they can do what we Torontonians cannot: kiss in public. Lips by Pearl van Geest, circuit by David Ogborn, soundscape by Neil Wiernik, bots and installation by Hilary Martin. Bring your kisses, Toronto.
