Participants include robots that draw, sculpt, and play musical instruments, as well as many with talents that are a bit harder to pin down."

    There's a band called Captured by Robots that's pretty cool. The guy built a bunch of robots (i.e. the 12 string autoharp named "GTRBOT666") for his bandmates as he "didn't get along with the human variety" very well.

    The music is eh, but the show itself is rad.

    These are some pictures of the robots themselves: http://www.chromatic-fantasy.com/2002-05-04-captur ed-by-robots/index.html

    (Yes, the robots actually play music.. )
