Gestalt of Robots

Gestalt is a project that uses robotics and AI to produce generative drawings. Gestalt is a philosophical principle which refers to our tendency as humans to perceive pattern, order and meaning within chaos. The Gestalt project is an exploration into machine intelligence, perception and creativity through the scope of drawing. Utilising image recognition software we created a self-reflective drawing system. Patterns and shapes perceived by the software dictate the behaviour of drawing robots. The continuous process emulates the human process of recognition and interpretation, inciting a sense of anthropomorphism and reflection.
