Vangobot: A collaboration of man and machine, created by Doug Marx and Luke Kelly

Also in August: Galaxy 9: A Gallery Nine group show

In August, Gallery 9 will feature the work of The Vangobot, the unique brain child and creation of Doug Marx and Luke Kelly.  Vangobot implements a formalization of artistic technique using robotics to create real paintings from a full assortment of brushes, an onboard paint mixing system and 3D spatial awareness. Also on view will be new work by G9 member artists, inspired by science fiction, science fact and fantasy.

Special G9 Event: Vangobot Q&A and reception:
Friday, August 27, 2010, 7:00 P.M. - Purely technical skill from a brush does not make an artist. The ideas expressed, visually or conceptually, are products of those who create and use this incredible new technology. Meet the creators,  join the conversation!
