Brushstrokes at the Digital age

Brushstrokes in the Digital Age present series of robotic painting (2016-18) done in collaboration with the e-David painting robot, using visual feedback system. The works investigate methods to redefine one of the primitive forms of art — painting — within our current technology-based era, exploring paradigms of creativity in the realm of machine-assisted processes at the base of my own practice of robotic painting, and broaden the discussion around the manifestation of narrative and iconography in relation to social and cultural changes via technological innovation.
A number of questions of wider impact arose as the result of our collaboration: When and why would a semantic method of defining the object in the image be used? Is it an advantage or a disadvantage to paint semantic objects without having a pre-existing cognitive understanding of them? How could I use abstract forms, grammatical structures or mathematical models to achieve more complex surfaces? How would computer language be used to express the intentions of a composition? When and why would different painting styles be used?
