Kaleider

Robot Selfie

This is a past event which has now ended.

What happens when you give a robot a massive canvas and a spray can and ask it to paint people?

Norfolk & Norwich Festival invites you to be drawn by Kaleider’s non-learning AI. Then, when you’re happy, you can submit it to be drawn, not by humans, but by a wall-drawing robot. We intend to create a massive mural of many faces. Strangers next to each other, simultaneously present, and yet apart. At a time when we are distanced from each other, Kaleider’s Robot Selfie brings us together.

The Robot is ready to draw! Click through the link to submit your selfie, and see yourself painted in Festival Gardens

Arts make life better

Norfolk & Norwich Festival brings tens of thousands of people together in celebration – it has been doing this for 250 years. Through our May Festival and our year-round arts education work, focusing on children and young people, we lead and support celebration, creativity and curiosity in communities across Norfolk and the region.

This year we begin an exciting new initiative, Festival Connect & Create that will bring creative opportunities to those schools and communities with least provision. Creativity transforms people’s lives. It builds cohesive communities, develops vital skills and supports health and wellbeing. We want more people to have access to creative opportunities.

Please consider donating to support and develop this work. With your help we can increase access to the life changing power of the arts.
