Robot Bodies was exhibited in the Mezzanine Gallery of the New Art Exchange Nottingham as part of the exhbition Unearthing the Bankers Bones (1 April - 11 June 2017). It was exhibtied in its full three screen configuration, with three interactive contol points each with a track ball interface and localised audio track.

This work is based on an earlier version shown at Bluecoat in 1998, commissioned by FACT for Revolution98, part of ISEA (International Symposium on Electronic Art): Change the World.

A reconfigured version of Robot Bodies was shown at the Regina Gouger Miller Gallery, Pittsburgh, USA in 2001. It has been updated and re-programmed for this exhibition. Here, the Robot, the Android and the Cyborg are examined as metaphorical carriers of contemporary anxieties around racial difference through an interactive essay, navigable through the trackball interface.
