Tech: The Originals Factory


“The Originals Factory” is a "robot" created by Israeli artists Liat Segal and Assaf Talmudi of Haifa University and Musrara College of Art that paints landscapes in the style of the American abstract expressionism movement.
"The Originals Factory is a work in progress fusing together and questioning digital, mechanic and plastic approaches to art, abstraction and originality. It is basically a DIY robot, built and programmed to create landscape paintings in the style of American abstract expressionism.

The computer system uses real time video input to control motor movement and pump actions to release paint drops on a large canvas. The drops are then drawn downwards courtesy of gravity, leaving thin colorful line marks."
