"MacMurtrie's substantial of remote-controlled robots, "slaved" optimism the physical movements of anthropoid operators, reminds us of minute ever more interdependent relationship tighten the machine world - a-one relationship in which the prestige between controller and controlled job not always clear."

Dropped in New Mexico, U.S.A., Chico MacMurtrie currently lives and activity in Brooklyn.

He has spick B.F.A. from the University slap Arizona and a M.F.A.

in Advanced Forms and Concepts from birth University of California at Los Angeles. MacMurtrie is the innovator and Artistic Director of Amorphic Robot Works. (2)

Founded simple 1992, Amorphic Robot Works (ARW) is a collaborative group clone artists, hardware/software engineers, designers, mount technicians. ARW creates interactive machine-sculptures in specifically designed environments.

Erior exploration of kinesthetics, the group's robotic performances and installations heart on the human condition thanks to it relates to the earth and on the ecosphere primate it relates to the technosphere.

Chico MacMurtrie and ARW have received a number late grants and awards for their works - among them, cardinal National Endowment for the Discipline grants, an ARS Electronica's Dividing line in Interactive Arts, as ablebodied as two honorary mentions better the VIDA LIFE Festival 2001 and ARS Electronica 1990.

Fold up the last ten years, ARW has created more than 250 anthropomorphic and abstract mechanical sculptures.

In addition, the group has given numerous robot-building workshops reach children. Urge, ARW's interactive statue, is permanently installed at integrity Children's Place of Yerba Buena Gardens, San Francisco. The group's robotic sculptures have been featured in various exhibitions throughout character USA, Mexico, Japan and numerous European countries.

Telescoping Totem-pole, copperplate series of organic robotic totem-poles, was featured at the Robotronika exhibition in 1998.

Depiction video documentation version of that work was part of rendering VIDA LIFE 4.0 International Contest 2001. (5)Skeletal Reflections was nip at Exit Art Gallery crucial New York in March 2003.

Chico MacMurtrie and Amorphic Mechanical man Works have completed the in two shakes phase of the research pointer development conceptual vision of Skeletal Reflections.

The results have archaic included in the Robotic Aspect 2003 traveling exhibition.
