Adrianne Wortzel (born 1941) is an American contemporary artist who uses robotics and interaction between humans and machines in her installations and performances.
[2] Much of Wortzel's early career was as an abstract painter,[3] and was featured in many group and solo exhibitions in several New York galleries, as well as in solo exhibitions at the Stamford Museum and Nature Center in Connecticut.
When she returned to school, she began working more with robotics and telerobotics as she pursued her MFA in Computer Art, producing video and installation work, both in galleries and online.
[1] Another work by Wortzel, Eliza Redux, was launched on the Whitney Museum's website in 2005.
[4] The installation took Joseph Weizenbaum's artificial intelligence program ELIZA program and embodied it in a physical robot's form installed in Wortzel's East Village apartment in New York.
