When Gary Hirsch came up with the Bots, he imagined a figurine that could put you in that happy state of mind, as well as connecting people through the internet to share their experiences. Since May of 2014, this fun location sets the mood for veiwers to ineract, share ideas, and to possibly inspire eachother or one another. The exhibit also challenges the audience to get your picture taken with the bot, while trying to come up with an answer to the particular question of each Bot. After you come up with an answer, post it to social media sites with the picture including facebook, instagram, or twitter etc. with the hashtag #botstories and continue to see other peoples asnwers to thier Bot. As the stories and answers grow so do the number of people that take envolvement with the Bots. This is a temporary exhibition, with no particular expiration date, make sure an check it out before it gets taken down.
