Autonomous Drawing Robot by Matthias Dörfelt, Determined to Reproduce

Category Arduino Members Paper Js People Posted on:

Created by Matthias Dörfelt, Mechanical Parts is a series of graphic connectors created by Robo Faber, an autonomous drawing robot determined to reproduce. The robot continuously creates drawings generated using a preset system Matthias developed for Weird Faces and the I Follow flip books. The system works around the idea of thinking how the drawings are created by hand and the same logic designed into the algorithm.

Each connector, or "mechanical part"  is entirely random and unique, based on the presets Matthias programmed. In this way the robot can draft an infinite amount of connectors while looking like it is sketching and thinking about a mechanism to reproduce.

Swipin’ Safari for iOS – Virtual safari across an infinite painting

Jeremy Rotsztain takes you on a virtual safari across an infinite painting where with each gesture you encounter new species of brush strokes and colorful patterns which endlessly redraw, connect and change colour.

GLASS / G3DP – 3D printing of optically transparent glass

Created as a collaboration between Mediated Matter Group (MIT Media Lab) and the Glass Lab (MIT), GLASS G3DP is a additive manufacturing process that enables 3d printing of optically transparent glass that also allows tunability by geometrical and optical variation that drives form, transparency, color variation, reflection and refraction in all things glass.
