GETTING READY
This story is about Paul Kirby’s journey to fuse art and science.
It starts out with these two short videos setting the stage.
Followed with sections describing:
- fusioneering;
- the creative processes for various paintings;
- the design and creation of the robot;
- ending with the robot’s paintings;
- and an epilog about Paul Kirby.
As you will discover, the outcome to his journey unexpectedly rises to a higher level of attainment than might be one’s initial assumptions. It is not about the individual pieces – the machinery and robotics or elaborate coding for the art and robot – but a transcendence into the pure beauty in this seamless fusion of art and science.
A Beautiful Place.
After following his journey, and in viewing his most recent work, Meditation Upon Death, perhaps you will agree this effort rises to a new height, a truly beautiful fusion of art and science. As you may decide, his accomplishments are surely unique in the world.
TWO RULES.
From the beginning A. L. Productions has unerringly followed two simple rules. These guide all work and research and they remain at the core of all A. L. Productions does.
WHAT IS THE BEST OUTCOME?
What should the outcome of all of Paul Kirby's efforts be? Should a robot painted picture hang in an art gallery or museum? Or does the real goal lie elsewhere?
