| 30-40 ml of Blood on Canvas via Robots and Machines: 30-40 ml of Blood on Canvas via Robots and Machines is an ongoing series of paintings fabricated with bodily fluids from the artist and applied to various display materials including wood, canvas, paper and screens with a collection of homemade robots and technological instruments and devices. For the initial series (adjacent photo), blood was applied to a number of linen, wood, and paper canvases through an artist-manufactured microbot with built-in brush. The brush, built as a slight variation of my bristlebot (a paintbrush, 3VDC Micro Vibration Motor, and a 3V lithium battery) functions autonomously, indefinitely gyrating in circles and unanticipated patterns fostering unique and "abstract expressionist" renderings. Later series incorporate household applications and devices as painting mechanisms and tools. |
