PAINT PIXEL PAINT

»DEEE – T – T – T, EEEE – H – EEEE, TSNNN – TSNNN, BEEEEP – BE – BEEP«

These are robot sounds. Every robot sounds different. Sometimes deafeningly loud, sometimes very quiet…but more importantly: Robots have special skills and tasks.

Pixel is a painting robot. His task is to paint. And he’s great at it! But suddenly, he gets pulled into the world of shapes and colors – which is fun! But: Can robots even have fun?

Sadly, there’s all these control modules out there monitoring their every move. A lot of hard work awaits Pixel – and an encounter with a strange creature that gives him a really special job.

Reto Crameri: »Taking the topic as a starting point, I developed the idea to bring together two artistic languages in a creative dialogue. This is why we see strictly computer-generated images, so-called vector drawings, on the one hand – robot drawings. And on the other hand, we see brushstrokes and blotches originating from playful experiments with different painting materials and utensils. In the end, I brought them together in a single digital collage.«
