Agnieszka Pilate is known for usingtechnology and futurism in their works. In the past, she has collaborated with Boston Dynamics: the artist created a series of paintings, the heroes of which were Spot the robotic dog. According to Pilate, one of these dogs even lives in her home in New York and helps her work.
But in the new project, for the first time, Pilate trains robots.draw on your own. In the triennial, which brings together contemporary art, design and architecture, three robots will paint with sticks of oil paint on acrylic primed canvas attached to a wall. They are programmed to understand a series of commands that will be executed in any order. The robot dogs themselves will determine the order of actions - up to the direction of the movement of the hand, the force of its pressing on the canvas and whether it draws a point or a line.
Pilate notes that the robots are like little ones.children who know a lot but understand very little. Perhaps in the future, paintings created by robops will be revered as the first primitive work of robotic art with artificial intelligence, she adds.
I'm a techno-optimist - I like to say what I'm doingfor machines what Diego Rivera did for the working class. And when people meet "Spot" in person, the vast majority fall in love very quickly - it's hard not to be fascinated by them, because they are so cute.
