Artist Barry X Ball installs a ROBOTOR robot in his studio in New York.
The artist, who has never hidden the importance of technology in his way of working, had relied on TORART over the years.
Barry X Ball is a sculptor who lives and works in New York.
Barry X Ball deconstructs works of the past, analyzes their content, thinks of new ways to present them, what to change and what not to… and the result takes radically different forms.
From a technical point of view, Barry X Ball combines manual craftsmanship, familiar to sculptors working centuries ago, with cutting-edge technological processes, such as robots, digital modeling, 3D scanners, computers, etc. Their combination is what makes his work unique. “I think Michelangelo Buonarroti would also use robots today. – declared Barry X Ball – I use what is best for the work.”
In his new studio in New York, Barry X Ball wanted a ROBOTOR robot.
It is a robot from the BOT-ONE series, specifically the L model, which allows working with blocks of up to 35 tons for works up to 3.5 meters high.
Barry X Ball, who for many years entrusted TORART with the task of creating his works, thus had the opportunity to verify the potential of ROBOTOR robots, an experience that led him to decide to become “autonomous”.
