Akira Kanayama’s Remote-Controlled Painting Machine, 1957

An early example of using a robot / machine to create art. Kanayama controlled the car via a remote which dripped paint onto  the canvas.

Zoetrope Fidget Spinner

It's already spinning, why not add an animation? Now you can be distracted by a cat video while you get out that nervous energy. It's a simple design: two wheel...

zoetrope + fidget spinner = !

Cameron Robbins: Field Lines – Past exhibitions | Mona

When I was growing up we had a holiday house. I used to notice the sea changing things, and the way the wind would make a tree erode a certain bit of the cliff...

Machine + nature

Forty designers who have developed their own self-defining or idiosyncratic practices, eschewing the standardisation of mass production and bending the rules of design along the way, are featured in Le Grand Détournement.

 ‘Today was a waste of Makeup’ Olivine Nix Source: http://dismagazine.com/discrit89plus/users/profile/343

Using makeup removal towelettes and then framing them, today’s make up becomes a work of art. Of all the things I have found so far, this is probably of closest relevance to my idea.

Drawing animation using a pen plotter and granular matter

Animation on screen juxtaposed with how it would look when drawn into granular matter with a pen plotter. Really great project, I’ve been trying to figure out how I could pursue both Processing and the more hands on side of this class, something like this could be a fun direction

grabbing these for my archive, i agree this is a great example of “dirty design” i would encourage you to pursue. getting a processing workshop organised for one of the fridays btw.

Our week 3 creations!

these are super. this week we will document (photograph/sketch) the robots as well, in order to tease out the relationships between the machine and the drawings.

Marcel Duchamp & Ai WeiWei ( 艾未未）    |   Week 2

This week Andy introduced some artists like Marcel Duchamp and Alexander Cabler. I most interested in Marcel Duchamp’s Bicycle Wheel which consisted of a bicycle fork with front wheel mounted upside-down on a wooden stool. I also inspired by his suitcase box for my artwork in FRANKENSTEIN UNBOUND Studio. However, I found a fantastic modern artist Ai weiwei who is a Chinese Contemporary artist and activist.  Weiwei’s closest visual work to Duchamp’s is his “Forever Bicycles’’ which made of over 1000 bicycles. Forever Bicycles 2015 is a major new installation designed specifically for the NGV, and composed from over 1500 bicycles, which for Ai, symbolise the freedom to move. I like to observed these bicycles from different angles through perspective，form and shapes.

Ahhhh Ai’s bicycles, of course! Great addition to the “turn” research.
