Robot uses Human to create Art

Dragan Ilic is a conceptual artist who explores how machines interact with art. His new project looks to examine this process from another angle, one that literally elevates his body above the ground via the arm of a robot. Rather than using machines to help focus his artistic tools, Ilic’s latest project sees him becoming the robot’s paintbrush. As the large industrial factory robot’s articulated joints move about with Ilic attached, the artist is left only to create what the robot allows him to create. According to those involved it represents “both the repetitiveness involved in technological production, as well as representing a new stage of ritual or transgressive experiences of the author himself.” - writes The Daily Dot
