Art Unchained @ ArtisTree

A watercolour study of Human Study #1, 5RNP by @patricktresset , from the sitters perspective.

I've been onsite at @artistreehk for the past 10 days, working with the artist Patrick, curator Lisa Botos, and our incredible technical team to help realise this incredible exhibition. Spanning multiple countries and time zones, this impressive art installation is being live streamed 1130~730 each day until Sunday on the TaiKoo website - check it out here!

Tresset's Human Study #1, 5RNP is an art installation where five robots simultaneously sketch a human sitter in different styles, in a twenty minute session, based on algorithms devised by Tresset. The sessions resemble live drawing classes, except that, in this case, the robots do the sketching. Just like human artists, each robot depicts the subject according to its own "subjective" interpretation.

Human Study #1, 5RNP premiered at the Merge Festival in association with the Tate Modern in London in 2012, and was subsequently exhibited at Ars Electronica in Austria (2014), the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Seoul (2015), the Japan Media Arts Festival (2018), as well as the Mori Art Museum in Japan (2020).
