The Art Machine by Robet Spillner is an amazing convergence of art and technology that creates never-ending artwork that is always unique and new. Spillner, a former automotive engineer, created the piece of art as "a machine which can paint continuous images, but is not a video.” The result was a piece that resembles a 37-inch-diameter ship’s porthole that takes advantage of swirling liquids.
The technology behind the Art Machine lies in its mix of aerospace industry dye and particles that are combined with a fluid that it cannot mix with. This results in a spectacular swirl, rotated by twin electric motors, that strike patches of light and dark in the Art Machine.
