A video preview of Happiness by Studio Dries Verhoeven. The full installation (including actual robot!) will be part of GOGBOT Festival 2023.

In his latest work, Dries explores the world of artificial happiness that is available to us in the form of drugs, painkillers and antidepressants. On the street there is a small pharmacy. A humanoid—a human-looking robot—works in there as a pharmacy assistant. She tells us about the various products we can use to tweak our serotonin and dopamine levels, and by doing so, shape our reality.
