LO4: Sound Art

The artwork that i’m interested is Senseless Drawing Bot by So Kanno & Takahiro Yamaguchi. The robot is a 4-wheeled graffiti machine, with a pendulum arm, arduino and spray cans to create random strokes as it moves up and down the gallery space. The movements of the pendulum arm creates drawings that are free and random, so that audiences can’t really expect what comes next. This randomness makes the artwork very interesting.
Moreover, this combination of technology and art creates a lot of possibilities in the future, combining AI with art and a lot of other creative aspects.
Thinking of the algorithm, I think the settings makes use of the physical characteristics of free arm pendulum, which goes through random movements while it starts rotating. So the program sets when the robot starts drawing, when it starts rotating the arm and what the storkeweight is.
