Interactive Robotic Painting Machine

This robot is painting depending on what sound it hears. Depending the sound, the robot has to take a decision on what / how to paint. We can wee a very good combination of AI and the arts with this video because the robot is making decisions just as humans are in relation to what to draw. Sometimes when we draw, we take decision on what we see, experience etc; well this robot is doing the same by making them by what it hears. I think this is very interesting and worth exploring more to see how many other inputs you can give to the robot for it to have a bigger decision space.

Simple Audio Reactive Se

I had never really looks for Max/MSP/jitter art, so I found this looking outward very educational.  I found “Simple Audio Reactive Set” very interesting because during the entire song, it introduced various geometric shapes. I really liked how it changed from abstract cubes, to lines , to spheres, to shapes etc. I would have liked it much more if it didn’t change SOO fast between shapes. I felt like I just got a glimpse of the new visualization, and then it was gone. I really could fully  appreciate it. I would have left each new visualization for a longer period of time. This way the transitions wouldn’t feel so drastic and sporadic. I also liked the use of color. I basically realized that the shapes were changing because the color would change as well. I really liked that extra pump it gave it. Everything was moving very fast, my eyes were a little overwhelmed. I didn’t quite feel it went with the music, so I was a little thrown off of why everything was changing so fast! And I think the main problem was the transitions, they were to drastic,m there was no smoothing between shapes, it was more like, boom, here you go a new thing!
