Simple bots that disperse customizable color upon paper and fabric substrates, exploring the relationships between movement, color, texture, and form.

About

The ColorBot is a modification of the DrawBot design by Jonah Brucker-Cohen, focused on the application and mixing of color for fun and educational purposes. These simple bots disperse customizable color upon paper and fabric substrates, allowing individuals to explore relationships between movement, color, texture, and form.

Process

Through weekly sessions, we experimented with materials, substrates, and color depositing mediums, exploring the movement, weight, and dimensions of the bots to see how color dispersal could be altered. The process was improvisational and fluid.

Achievements

ColorBots was presented live during Parsons Festival in 2011.
