| Though artificial intelligence and human creativity are related in a broad sense, there is currently little crossover between the two. One of my major software projects deals with exploring each and trying to find the connections. The unique process behind all my work is similar. I create paintings with the aid of computers, robots, and machines. |
Funny how a 3 month break becomes a 6 month break. Anyways, though lots of programming has been accomplished in last couple months, I have not really been able to make any art with my printer since before Christmas. This all changes today! I took day off and hooked everything back up and am ready for some test runs leading into my next Art Project. Working with Trillane Burlar, we have devised a method to let any internet connected users control the printer and make crowd sourced art. This includes laptops, phones, tablets, and even disabled user interfaces like eye trackers. Imagine the crowd sourced art that will be made. Stay tuned…
As most of you know, for the past three months I have been reworking algorithms and not been doing any actual painting. This week, however, I just received an invitation to a major robotic art exhibition in the southwest (Details to follow). So I guess it is time to finish up those algorithms and get started on actual work for the show. I will post progress in the next couple of weeks on the finalization of my latest algorithms, my newest robot, and the work I begin to produce with it.
The third robot is nearing completion. It performed its third, fourth, and fifth painting recently. Or perhaps you could consider it just its third work. The piece is a triple portrait of three babies. They are not twins, but brothers varying in age by about two years a piece.
The next painting performed by my robot will be noticiably different. I have spent past couple weeks reworking its algorithms and configuration. Stay tuned to see the development. While not a major change, it will be a significant one. If nothing else, the robot looks much more dignified now.
