Approaching the idea of post-apocalyptic life through a poignant and wistful lens, "Practical Effects" follows a primate-like biomimetic robot.

What effect is Diana Thater trying to produce with "Practical Effects"? Why did she choose a human in costume to represent the robot in her installation? How can visitors interact with and participate in the work?

In this interview, Diana Thater explains the message she wants to convey with "Practical Effects".
