This workshop aims to test the ability of the robotic arm to take control over imprecise variables that are commonplace to many forms of creative processes used today. In any material operation or technique, there is always a certain level of virtuosity that one must have over their craft. The ability to understand and control the nuance of slightly altering techniques or seemingly uncontrollable variables can lead to new discourse on how we understand the material properties.

Because the robotic arm has the ability to repeat the same task with such slight variability, it can be used to take control over many environmental qualities that we never could before. In this case, paint on a paint brush. Here, variables such as the amount of paint, pressure of the brush against the page, how often paint is re-applied to the brush, and even the density of the bristles can be used as driving forces for design. This can bring us from simple replications to hyper-real transformations of imagery through material nuance. Students will develop and modify an existing Grasshopper3D script to produce the tool-paths for running the arm and will then experiment with using different types of imagery to add slight variations in order to better understand the subtleties of a single tool and material.
