Back to Ornitorrinco  Chronology

From 1989 to 1996, Eduardo Kac developed Ornitorrinco with Ed Bennett.

Ornitorrinco pioneered the field of telerobotics and telepresence in art since 1989 — before the Web — as the first system which allowed users in public and private spaces to remotely access a fully mobile and wireless robot and alter the remote location (teleoperation) via the telephone network.
