Boing Boing reader Douglas Repetto says,

We're very happy to announce the participants in this year's ArtBots: The Robot Talent Show (our fourth year!) The show is in Dublin, Ireland this year, and features 22 works from over 30 artists from 10 countries. It'll take place in a wonderful space that's half gallery, half old church, and half failed viking theme park with real viking bones in the basement! Info on all of the participating works is now online. Of course it's a lot more fun if you can come to the show in person, but hopefully the website gives some indictation of why we're so excited about the strange and diverse works in this year's show.
