Andres Wanner (Swiss) is an artist, designer, and educator I met while living in Vancouver. He attended the masters program at Emily Carr University of Art + Design at the same time as I did. During this time he was working on drawing robots.
His work with drawbots took many different forms. They were on the walls, they were on the floor. They worked slowly over many, many hours, or they worked more quickly in front of you. Their physical form and aesthetic changed, as did their robotic components. Sometimes the drawbots were in the gallery working, and sometimes only the finished drawing was in the gallery. I love their little repurposed Lego wheels.
Their final form Robot Quartet is seen in the video above, and shows 4 drawing robots working at the same time. It looks like an orchestra, like synchronized swimming, and like a time lapse of a drawing being created.
