Speaking on Robots: Jason Opat
Speaking on Robots with Jason Opat, "Robots in the Public Sphere—Then, Today, and Tomorrow."

Robots and robotics were first imagined as aides for human tasks. Jason Opat absolutely knows robots in today's public sphere. He has contributed to Hollywood films "Transformers," "Iron Man," and more. His Wichita company is now creating the film-like robots of the future--illusionary helpers to navigate commercial spaces. Opat's talk will review key robots from the silver screen and then give us a vision of the future by demonstrating his gesture-recognition humanoid helpers.

Opat is chair of the Kansas Film Commission and visionary owner at Integrated Media Group in Wichita.

This event is in conjunction with "Robots: A Cultural Icon in Contemporary Art," on view through Dec. 18. Fifteen artists explore society's fear and fascination with robots as they evolve from science fiction to modern reality. For more information about Robots events or the exhibition,

Two young lovers are convinced their girlfriends will always be faithful but the jaded Don Alfonso sets out to prove them wrong! A bet is made, disguises are donned and the games begin. Cosi marked the third collaboration between Mozart and the infamous librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte and was said to have been inspired by the gossip at the Viennese Court. In any case, the opera bubbles along like champagne in the process, exposing the foibles of men and women.
