The first in the series of projects (2019 – 2020) under the title !brute_force: Feeding the Algorithm was executed by Maja Smrekar and produced by Quo Artis Foundation (ES), co-produced by Kapelica Gallery / Kersnikova Institute (SI), The Culture Yard / CLICK Festival (DK). The project was part of the European ARTificial Intelligence Lab and was supported by the Creative Europe Program of the European Union, Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Slovenia (SI), Municipality of Ljubljana – Department for Culture (SI) and Danish Art Council (DK)
The soft robotic tile prototype (2020 – 2021) was realized in co-authorship between Maja Smrekar and Jonas Jørgensen within the framework of the STUDIOTOPIA program at Ars Electronica Linz GmbH & Co KG (A) with the support of the Creative Europe Culture Programme of the European Union in collaboration with Center for Soft Robotics, SDU Biorobotics, The Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller Institute, University of Southern Denmark (DK)
The final robotic performance installation (2022) was realized in co-authorship between Maja Smrekar and Jonas Jørgensen and produced by PiNA Association (SI); co-produced by TROP – Institute for artistic research (SI) in collaboration with Center for Soft Robotics, SDU Biorobotics, The Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller Institute, University of Southern Denmark (DK) and RPS Company (SI).
