Episode 0511: Robot Art with Joe Summers

Uncovering Kansas

My guest today, Joe Summers describes Guerilla Art like this - you make a thing and put it out into the world for people to find.

Joe works with his students and children to create robot sculptures that they then take to different locations around the state and leave behind for someone to find. This episode is about Joe and his robot art program, but it turns out to be a travel episode as well because Joe covers so many Kansas towns and sites as part of his program.

Rules for leaving robot art in the world:

• At least an hour from the house
• Nobody could see you
• Drop off is a place that is arts focused
• Attach a note to them
• Go get breakfast at a local restaurant
