Roboexotica (sometimes spelled: Roböxotica) is an annual festival and conference where scientists, researchers, computer experts and artists from all over the world build cocktail robots and discuss technological innovation, futurology and science fiction.[1][2] Roboexotica is also an ironic attempt to criticize techno-triumphalism and to dissect technological hypes.[3][4]
The festival is currently produced by art collective monochrom. Until 2018, the festival was a cooperation of monochrom, Shifz, and the 'Bureau for Philosophy' (of the Department of Philosophy, University of Vienna).
The festival is usually held in the end of November or early December.
