Interactive Robot Painting Machine - Benjamin Grosser

The robotic painting machine is a creation of autonomous AI controlled robotic painting machine, that is controlled by outside stimuli such as sound and light and can act on its own.

The painting robot is a modified 3d printer that has 3 ways of motion and up and down, it is 3 axis CNC machine with a paint brush on its tip. This piece of art intrigues me not only because of its complex and abstract nature but because this piece of art is a robot as well. The machine can take in sound stimuli and convert it into movement and painting strokes so it can make interactive painting art.

The coolest feature of the painting machine is that the motors and actuators that move the paintbrush are of a musical nature in that they create specific tones and musical sequences when programmed to move to certain areas or maneuvers. 

I think that this piece is interesting in the fact that it is a industrial machine utilized in a fashion to make it artistic and appealing to the digital artist in us all.
