Mix robot cocktails: Festival Roboexotica causes a sensation!

From December 12th to 15th, 2024, the Ottakring art filling station again becomes the scene for the extraordinary Festival Roboexotica, where the boundaries between art and technology blur. This year, the 26th festival of its kind, visitors can experience the fascinating skills of sophisticated machines that not only mix cocktails, but also prepare pancakes and entertain them in a surprising way. The Page 1 describes how the festival has brought creative minds together since 1999 to create a unique experience through innovative cocktail robotics.

The humorous culinary hospitality, which enables guests to communicate interactively with the machines, is particularly inviting. The artistic director, Günther Friesinger, emphasizes that Roboexotica is a platform that combines technology, innovation and aesthetics. With the inclusion of FH JOANNEUM students, a space mission will be staged this year to kidnap the guests into other spheres. The event is supplemented by the Annual Cocktail Robot Award, which is awarded in different categories such as the best cocktail and bar discussion, as is explained to Page 2

a festival of innovations and creativity

As part of the festival, visitors have the opportunity to become creative themselves and bring their own robots with them. Roboexotica is not only a festival for cocktail purists, but rather an experimental field to discuss the role of cocktail robotics in the context of technological progress and hedonistic communication. Friesinger appeals to all technology and cocktail enthusiasts to get involved in this exciting journey and to experience the interaction of people and machines up close.
