Laura Greig,
Painting with Robots
I use art as a way to interact with the machines in my life. Sometimes I work with readymades, trying to find a medium that suits their mechanics. Sometimes I build new machines out of hobby and hardware store parts. I try to balance the rigor of a scientific practice with the spirit of an artistic one. I test hypotheses through experiments and careful documentation; I respect the history of painting as a sacred act. As I work on improving my painting practice, I try to build robots that can keep up.
