‘Lightdrawing’ by German designer Nils Voelker is a robot which creates drawings with colored LED’s light.
Still in the prototype phase, an exposure time photo is taken while the robot draws images by moving a light source.
From the designer:
”During the past year I have been able to realise some very nice and rather unusual projects: I’ve developed several machines. Some of them make paintings, one reproduced human perception and another one is just rolling around.
This one is the newest creation that draws images by moving a light source while an exposure time photo is taken. It’s still somehow a prototype but works quite well. Besides from drawing nice images it’s the development platform for a succeding model for another project I’m working on at the moment, a series of “paintings” for a magazine.’
