About Tender Machines

Experimental machinations remain an extension of our desires and demonstrate how we use technology to fulfill quirky human needs. These curious machines aim to achieve creative and tender objectives, merging our complex human inclinations with mechanical logic. Artists attempt and perform mechanical prose through an assemblage of interactivity, performance, and ingenuity, some of which draw inspiration from automata and early robots.

Participating artists include Alex Branch, Bill Nelson, Fernando Orellana, and LA Samuelson.

Tender Machines is on view May 4 — July 1, 2023. Union Hall’s open gallery hours are Wednesday through Saturday, 12-6pm. No appointment is required!
