Brush Plot

Brush Plot

"Brush Plot" reimagines the paintbrush within a Cartesian system. Using the machine's binary precision, the painting reveals spontaneous gradients of color. Before applying the paint, I run the script once with a pen instead of a brush. This process allows me to strategically place the paint and also creates a satisfying visual foundation that guides the brush as it traces a deliberate yet fluid line.

The robot painter is a 2-axis machine capable of covering dimensions of approximately 1300 x 2000 mm. At its end effector, a lightweight servo motor controls a brush, moving it up and down with consistent pressure. While the robot’s precise movements generate intricate patterns where colors seamlessly merge, the application of paint remains manual. This creates a collaborative process—a partnership between myself and the machine.

The result is a harmonious blend of methodical robotic precision and the natural unpredictability of flowing acrylic paint. This interplay of control and spontaneity produces artworks that are both intricate and dynamic, reflecting the convergence of human creativity and technological innovation.

The robot painter is a 2-axis robot capable of reaching dimensions of approximately 600 x 800 mm. At its end effector, a lightweight servo motor operates a brush, moving it up and down while applying a consistent amount of pressure. The application of paint is performed manually, creating a collaborative artwork between myself and the robot. The robot's precise movements generate intricate patterns where different colors seamlessly merge. Simultaneously, the artwork retains an element of spontaneity due to the unpredictable flow of acrylic paint. This fusion of methodical robotic precision and the natural unpredictability of paint results in distinctive and compelling pieces of art.

The project not only showcases the potential of robotic technology in the field of art but also emphasizes the value of human-robot collaboration. By combining the structured precision of robotics with the creative spontaneity of human input, the resulting artworks are both meticulously crafted and organically inspired. This blend of control and chance embodies a unique artistic expression, making each piece a testament to the harmonious coexistence of technology and creativity.
