Robotics with Lego Mindstorms


In this workshop, students build a drawing robot. They examine questions of machine vs. humanity, planning vs. incalculability, temporal evolution and performance. Playful and almost living robots are standing next to machine-like constructions. The works show very different interpretations of how a robot can generate images, and to what degree the visual expression can be influenced by the engineer of the robot.

Institute of Media Arts, FHNW

The drawing robots were shown at the DIY-Festival, Dec 6th/7th 2007, Zürich
