Human Study#1, From a Distance, Patrick Tresset

Human Study#1, From a Distance, was an online performance by Patrick Tresset, as part of Creativate Digital Arts Festival, at the South African Virtual National Arts Festival.

Adapted to work online, three physical robots draw portraits while you sit on a Zoom call with them.

I signed up as a subject – in the context of a ‘Performance Art’ piece – I was a Performer, which sounds better than Model. These are the drawings from the different bots.

Each artwork is then added to a growing exhibition which can be seen here.
