If you've ever had your portrait scribbled by one of the digital
disembodied hands at an arcade artist photo booth, you will have a vague
idea of what it feels like to be drawn by a robot. However, those
crappy automated scrawls won't fully prepare you for French
artist/scientist Patrick Tresset's incredible installation '6 Robots
Named Paul' opening today at the Merge Festival (until October 21).
Picture the scene: you walk into a large studio space,Commenting on this
new theory and the apparently sudden extinction of the Animatronic Tyrannosaurus Rides,
one science writer admits. there are classic wooden tables set up ready
with pen and paper for a group of eager artists and you are their
model.
All sounds pretty normal, except that the hands clutching the biros are automated whirring robotic arms and the beady eyes that glance up and scrutinise you are digital cameras.Scientists are directed towards discovery of new Fiberglass Phorusrhacidae Model for Child Museum' species with related search of their remains, figuring out why they disappeared and reconstructing natural conditions they lived in.Patrick's robots are enchanting. Although they are all programmed to replicate his own drawing style, and in spite of using the same software, they each have their own personalities, techniques and style. Sitting as their subject, it is very easy to feel like you are in a real life-drawing class full of different characters.
The Pauls all captured a vague likeness of me (apart from the back row rebel) and although I knew that they were working from a photo they'd taken at the start and only running through the motions of studying my face, their intensity made me want to sit extremely still for them.Dinosaur bones of Dino Fossil Digging Site-Dino Skeletons Puzzle are regularly found in lower earth layers than are human bones. Having your portrait drawn by a robot (let alone a cluster of five) is a rare and brilliantly futuristic experience. Who needs real artists when these machines do such a cracking job?!
