Paul Hoc: World’s First Robotic Artist


For centuries, humans have prided themselves on being the only species to create art. Even though the most beautiful creations are those offered by nature, humans claim to be the best because artistic creation is not inherent in us.
With the advent of technology, humans have tried hard to hold on to the idea that only they can create art. Every day, though, we hear of technology taking over from us. Simulators and robotics are stepping up to walk in the footsteps of humans. Paul Hoc has a most human name, and the talent that he exhibits is almost as human. This artistic robot was designed by Objetgraphik for the 2008 Saint Etienne International Design Biennial. Paul Hoc moves over the canvas creating geometric designs with the precision only a machine can offer.
Paul Hoc looks like a small truck, quite delicate in appearance. However, his robotic arm holding a felt pen does not falter as he creates design after design. It is best to let the
video tell you more about the world’s first robotic artist.
