Yvonne Wilhelm (born 1962), Christian Huebler (born 1962), Alexander Tuchacek (born 1962) are based in
Zürich Switzerland. The Knowbotic Research group has experimented with the intersection of
technology,
information and
knowledge,
interface,
immersive virtual reality and networked agency. In their work
Simulation Mosaik Data Klaenge from 1993, they experimented with so called
intelligent agent, applications which can conglomerate diaphanous information by themselves (also called
knowbots) and intelligent virtual spaces (flexible information-environments distributed in electronic networks). Knowbotic Research
KR+cF has regularly invited people from non-art fields to participate in their projects, such as scientists, philosophers and engineers, depending on the concept of each project. In partnership with the
Academy of Media Arts Cologne, Knowbotic Research KR+cF has founded
Membrane, a laboratory for media strategies, in 1995. In their more recent work, they created media-based projects that try to intervene in the (physical or digital)
public domain. Knowbotic is a coinage that combined "knowledge" with "
robotic", meaning intellectual agent on the Internet. Knowbotic has developed some projects themed on an information environment and a computer interface. Since 1998, it has become more flexible, and with these main three of them, different members from various fields such as art, science, and philosophy, have joined in each program. In 1997, it worked with Japanese art group, Canon Art Lab, in Tokyo. This project aimed at revealing the function of the city by interacting between real and
virtual world. ==Awards==
