Kristin Lucas and Joe McKay (Electric Donut) cater an exhibition reception remotely via telepresence robot. Curated by Carla Gannis. Hosted by Donna Cleary for the exhibition Perverse Instatiations at 184 Project Space. Special Thanks to Nick Brewer for loaning his robot.

"Using web software, we navigate a telepresence robot through an art exhibition reception. We offer beverages and hors d'oeuvres to guests and consume them for you with our surrogate bodies. We hope you feel as disembodied as we do!"
