Automated Art

An opportunity to make art in a completely unique way. In this hands-on series of workshops, you’ll work together with artist and researcher Natasha Kidd from Bath Spa University to create a painting machine that will be installed as an artwork at The Carers’ Centre. 

Over six sessions you’ll work together as a small group to help design and build the machine.

Examples of what you’ll be doing include:

  • Coding the automatic paint pumps so that the machine can paint independently.
  • Making the canvas that the machine will paint on.
  • Use laser cutting machines to create some of the machine’s parts.

You’ll also be helping to contribute to a research project exploring the value of working with art.

No experience is needed – just an appetite to be involved in a creative, hands-on project.
