Fine Art Computation Engineering

Automated Painting

William Betts Studio, LLC

Director: William Betts

2014-17

William Betts is a dynamic visual artist who uses digital images to create rich paintings. He uses painterly techniques to create alluring surfaces, translating photographs and surveillance video by way of computation, patterning, robotics, and custom tooling. He uses color and surface to attract the eye, and perspective and resolution create a narrative around his subjects.  Under William’s direction, I was able to develop image processing and automation techniques for truly creative applications.
