Accessible Art: Where Visual Expression and Robotics Collide | Tal Achituv | TEDxBeaconStreet

Following a thesis from the MIT Media Lab, Artmatr is building art robots, leveraging digital input technologies to control physical output technologies. Many digital inputs are accessible to populations to whom traditional art tools are inaccessible. The talk encourages inclusion of art and robotics in traditional STEM education (to form STREAM) to allow for creative physical outputs as part of the process. The work is inspired by artist Benjamin Tritt who taught the team at MIT how to reverse engineer the process of painting and design robots that serve as brushes, thus bridging the physical and digital domains, and by Cristina Powell of A Brighter Way - an artist diagnosed with cerebral palsy and who has dedicated her life to painting in order to help others.
