Live demonstration showcases the Portrait Painter Robot, created by José Salatino. This brush plotter acts as an extension of the artist’s hand, embodying the collective’s philosophy of using technology to enhance the tangible—allowing digital processes to support, rather than replace, physical outcomes.

During the demo, we’ll guide you step-by-step through the transformation of a digital file into a physical artwork. The Portrait Painter Robot is unique in its ability to produce a rich spectrum of colours from a minimal palette, highlighting what happens when technological design is driven by artistic needs.

The session aims to spark conversation around the relationship between art and technology. We’ll also share our Plotter Spectrum zine—created to connect with the global plotter community and to encourage dialogue on multidisciplinary creative processes in the digital age.
