Robots’ eye view: watch an exclusive video of the robots on the move
In the small hours of the next five nights, things that absolutely will not go bump in the night will be roaming the galleries of Tate Britain.
After Dark will use four robots which move at surprising speed despite looking like the love children of a close encounter between a coat rack and a standard lamp to let the public experience the eerie thrill of visiting the sleeping art. It has won the first IK Prize for a project that widens access to art through digital technology.
