As algorithms spark creative innovation and robots enter artistic spaces, an unprecedented crossover event of technology and design is coming. From now until July 10, the inaugural International Biennale of Robotics and Art Design opens its global call for submissions to universities worldwide.

This biennial exhibition will be held at the Robot World in Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area (Beijing E-Town) from August 2 to September 30, 2025.

This exhibition is one of the important supporting events of the 2025 World Robot Conference, focusing on interdisciplinary creations at the intersection of technology and humanities, art and intelligence. It will bring together pioneering designs from young creators both domestically and internationally, presenting a future visual feast that combines the tension of robot technology with the spirituality of art.  

The exhibition's work recruitment mainly covers four major areas: works from domestic and foreign higher art schools, design schools, engineering and technical colleges interested in the intersection of robots and the art field, as well as teams or individuals; works from young artists, robot designers, and interdisciplinary creators in fields such as digital media, both domestic and international; award-winning works from major design awards such as Red Dot, IF, IDEA, A Design, and works exhibited in renowned exhibitions; as well as results related to robot technology in cutting-edge research.

During this exhibition, the seven dazzling exhibition areas will redefine the boundaries of human-machine art. Centered around the three core themes of "innovative design, technological applications, and social value", and incorporating philosophical reflections related to robot art, new technologies, and application scenarios, this exhibition will feature the following seven major categories of exhibits.

Future vision: Static visual narrative

The works draw inspiration from future societies, robot technology, human philosophy, and technological ethics, constructing static narrative scenes through visual language. The works can explore themes such as human-robot symbiosis, smart cities, technological illusions, presenting a unity of thoughtfulness and aesthetics.

Forms of works: graphic design, information visualization, conceptual posters, etc.

Immersive interaction: Augmented reality images

Utilizing virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality technologies, the works extend two-dimensional visuals into spatial dimensions. Audiences can interact with robots in the works through smart devices, exploring the boundaries between the virtual and the real, experiencing the "leaping out" effect of future images.

Forms of works: VR interactive installations, AR plane interactions, overlay animations, three-dimensional floats, etc.

Time-space images: Future media works

The works integrate digital imagery, computational language, visual storytelling, and spatial projection, presenting dynamic expressions of the world of robots and technological society. Their content may include virtual reality experiences, digital animations, data-generated images, and other cutting-edge explorations.

Forms of works: 3-8 minute digital videos, new media short films, immersive projections.

Intelligent field: Interactive art installations

The work creates an art space with "responsive capabilities" through artificial intelligence and sensing technologies. Audience language, actions, and emotions serve as triggers, driving immediate feedback and deep interaction between robotic works and individuals.

Forms of works: Interactive mechanical installations, sensor projections, voice interactions, behavior capture systems.

Dynamic narrative: Flowing art

The work uses "movement" as its language, unfolding narratives in time and space, covering robotic mechanical motion installations, performance art, audiovisual theater, and more, conveying a sense of life and the poetic future of the robot world through artistic rhythms.

Forms of works: Dynamic mechanics, sound installations, accompanied by on-site demonstration videos or dynamic simulated animations.

Evolution of form: Contemporary representational art

The work focuses on cultural expressions of the relationship between robots and humans, using mediums such as painting, sculpture, photography, etc., to present philosophical reflections within static forms. By emphasizing individual experiences and symbolism in artistic language, it explores emotions between future robots, humans, and the environment.

Forms of works: Painting, sculpture, installation photography, illustration, static books/picture books.

Innovative concept: Design applications for robots

The works focuses on the design applications of robots in industrial manufacturing, medical care, bionic simulation, remote operations, and smart homes. It encourages user-centered innovative solutions, presenting practical configurations and aesthetic imagination of future human-machine integrated living.

Forms of works: Product design blueprints, concept renderings, 3D model displays, interactive system diagrams.

As a supporting event of the World Robot Conference, this exhibition aims to create a benchmark biennial exhibition of robots and art design that integrates youth innovation incubation, international resource aggregation, and in-depth integration of industry, academia, and research.

Whether you are an art enthusiast, a technology geek, or a cross-disciplinary genius, as long as your original work is avant-garde and creative, you have the opportunity to participate in the exhibition. Beijing E-Town is looking forward to your participation!
