In 2005 or so I made a script for a program that drew symmetrically – say an “X” instead of a straight line, or a four-leaf clover instead of a circle (when placed in the right way).

It was really fun – something like a “Spirograph” that drew all at once & you controlled.

Well last year, I advanced that design, in a way, to robot brushes. Actual physical remote controlled paintbrushes, (using  perhaps a drawing tablet combined with other joystick, etc, parts), & actually painting in say formulaic (i.e., you enter/choose/graphically design a formula, & it paints in that way) or really, imagination’s-the-limit ways, under the direction of the controller. You could wield many at once, blending your direction & formulas for material designing.

The result would be real pigment-&-cloth paintings. Also, these would be people controlled, so there would still be an art to it, just like wood-&-hair paintbrushes.

(Theoretically you could sculpt this way too, using small remote controlled robo tools.)

I really like Art, & think this is neat. I am choosing to share this idea; hoping someone doesn’t race out & patent it or something silly like that.

Maybe open source 3d printer/constructer models would be more in the spirit of what I have in mind, altho I guess if it were necessary, e.g. to fund it, perhaps patents could happen, consensually. If no one had invented it before.

Anyway neat idea, I love Art inventions, seems a very cultured, basically harmless way to make Life more lovely & more fun, too.

Enjoy Yourselves =)
