The Artistic Side of Artificial Intelligence

His art practice follows two main paths. On one hand, Tresset presents theatrical installations in which robotic agents are actors. He also crafts the computational systems driving the robots so that their behavior can be perceived as artistic, expressive and even obsessive. These systems are influenced by research into actual human behavior--more specifically, how humans make marks or draw, how humans depict other humans, how humans perceive artwork, and how humans relate to robots. Originally a painter, Tresset is part of a generation of artists coming out of Goldsmiths College's computing department.
