Remember PaikBot? He's the robot artwork who tweets from American Art's Nam June Paik: Global Visionary exhibition. He's been enjoying his time in the galleries: seeing visitors experience and enjoy Paik's innovative works. One visitor described the exhibition as "the most amazing atmosphere" they had ever walked through. Another said it was "like walking into Alice's digital, virtual wonderland."

Though physically located on the 3rd floor of the museum, PaikBot has been doing some virtual traveling of his own through our "Flat PaikBot" project. From Paris and Palm Beach to a local cafe, people have taken PaikBot with them on their adventures and sent us photographs to prove it. Can you take him somewhere new?
