    LABOR: Production of a Large-scale Painting with a Robot
    (The Eurographics Association, 2025) Grayver, Liat; Berio, Daniel; Herrmann, Inge; Notz, Adrian; Berio, Daniel; Bruckert, Alexandre
    Labor is a live human/robot painting installation that combines generative graphics techniques, robotic automation and traditional painting methods. It explores the role of embodied intelligence in artistic production. The resulting composition is a large-scale painting consisting of multiple individually painted tiles. The painting is based on an electron microscope image of a placenta, which is algorithmically processed into a series of parametric brushstrokes using a differentiable vector graphics pipeline. These strokes are then collaboratively painted using a 7-axis robotic arm equipped with custom paintbrushes. The project engages with the dual meaning of ''labor'': industrial production and childbirth, highlighting the often-overlooked importance of bodily knowledge in the arts but particularly in medical and technological contexts. The installation explores the balance between human intuition and algorithmic automation, emphasizing the importance of material constraints and the role of human artists in the creation a large-scale generative painting.

    Transhuman Expression - Human-Machine Interaction as a Neutral Base for a New Artistic and Creative Practice
    (The Eurographics Association, 2019) Grayver, Liat; Volpe, Gualtiero; Berio, Daniel and Cruz, Pedro and Echevarria, Jose
    Transhuman Expression is an interactive room installation created by Liat Grayver in collaboration with the EU-H2020-ICT project weDRAW in the context of a Vertigo STARTS residency at the Casa Paganini - InfoMus reseach center of DIBRIS - University of Genova, Italy. Data captured via motion detection of visitors is analyzed, processed, and projected on large screens positioned in the exhibition area. The collaboration benefited, was built on, and furthered experiences that both the artist and the research team have had in ongoing work exploring convergence of artistic and scientific practices. Grayver's work in robotics-assisted painting gained new tools that can be integrated into the system she works with at the University of Konstanz, whilst Casa Paganini - InfoMus has acquired new perspectives on the range, scope, and scale of real-time, automated movement analysis. This paper reports about goals, methodology, and results of such a joint multidisciplinary activity.
