Pretty neat, huh?
This week's Urban Daddy Weekender newsletter made a very vague reference to this Absolut Quartet that is on display at 186 Orchard Street. I investigated further and found an article on CoolHunting that gave a bit more info. It is on display starting tonight until the end of April.
"Absolut Machines is Absolut's promotional initiative that explores where technology meets design in the form of two "machines." Last night we got to check out one, the Absolut Quartet, an interactive multi-instrumental robotic machine. It consists of a marimba played by rubber balls precisely shot from a robotic cannon, a series of spinning wineglasses dampened by robotic fingers and an array of percussive instruments."

You can check out Absolut's microsite on the machines, but surfer's beware - the site kept crashing my browser.
Surely someone will be interested in checking this out, if not merely for curiosity's sake.
