The meaning of sunset by Emilie (writer from Albania)

"What can you say about the deep meaning of sunset? How can you relate in to your life? Is it happy or sad moments ?
Sunset is the begining of night time ,I called it "the night's gate" . I think it's a sad time for some people.But for me it's the calm and warm time. I can have all my writings and work at this time. For all the things in life you can make anything as happy or sad moments of your life. I hope you enjoyed my writings.
Thanks for reading it.

Fact - Robots & Avatars Exhibition

Gallery 2 - personal boundaries of when a robot becomes a living thing. They can touch but not feel.

Robot world by Martin Hans Schmitt - Is a collection of around 200 clips of robots showcasing their uses, and focuses on the development of robots and technology. It made me realise that technology is quite advanced already, and the human fascination with robots had been around for quite some time. Violin music was used in the background of the clips because it's closely linked with the human voice, giving the robots in the clips 'a voice' of their own.

This has made me look into sound and perception a bit more http://www.oup.com/us/catalog/general/subject/Philosophy/Mind/?view=usa&ci=9780199282968
