With its opening reception Saturday night (aka Star Wars Day aka May the Fourth) the gallery spaces at the Ayzenberg agency in Pasadena give themselves over to the dominion of our inevitable robot overlords.

ROBOT REMIX is an art exhibition bringing together some 30 artists who use robots of all variety as their muses, nemeses and metaphors along the continuum of futuristic nostalgia. It’s also a progressive action figure emporium, as DKE Toys curates a “bootleg” vision shared by toymakers who use robots to critique and interpret pop culture. And beginning June 1, it’s also an immersive XR program.

Sp[a]ce Gallery, 39 E. Walnut St., Pasadena; Saturday & Sunday, noon-6 p.m., through September 8; free.

Opening reception: Saturday, May 4, 7-10 p.m.; free.
