The brushstroke - in its various manifestations - is the only communication tool that is encountered in paintings and drawings across generations. The production of a stroke involves a complex interplay between different perceptual, cognitive and physical processes. Its reproduction with computational and robotic technologies provides us with the opportunity to study and better understand these processes.The project "Embodied Agents in Contemporary Visual Art'' (EACVA) approaches this study through a multi-disciplinary collaboration between artists, philosophers, sociologists, psychologists, as well as computer art and robotics engineers (website of the project accessible at www.eacva.co.uk). The collaboration will unfold throughout artistic residencies and workshops, during which we will develop a methodology informed by our respective fields of expertise while also producing artworks with state-of-the-art robotic painting and drawing systems. The software and tools, developed during this period in close collaboration with the artists involved, will be open source, thereby contributing to the growing community of artists and researchers working on artistic applications of robotics. Lastly, the resulting artworks, texts, and systems will be presented in the form of a public-facing exhibition at Goldsmiths College, University of London.The exhibition will include the presentation of live performance installations with several robots, exposing their internal representations and decision-making processes with the aim of demystifying machine and computer-driven creation. By combining state-of-the-art robotic systems with historical contexts and didactic curatorial methodologies, we will offer the public an informed insider view into the creative potential of machines. The show will provide a unique opportunity to further investigate our research questions by gathering quantitative and qualitative data through surveys. We will dedicate a post-production period to the creation of a printed catalogue.documenting the artworks and their production, and we will prepare publications relevant to the diverse disciplines represented within our collaborative team.

笔触-在其各种表现形式-是唯一的沟通工具，是在绘画和绘画中遇到的跨代。中风的产生涉及不同感知、认知和物理过程之间的复杂相互作用。计算机和机器人技术的再现为我们提供了研究和更好地理解这些过程的机会。“当代视觉艺术中的智能体”项目（EACVA）通过艺术家、哲学家、社会学家、心理学家以及计算机艺术和机器人工程师之间的多学科合作来进行这项研究（该项目的网站可访问www.eacva.co.uk）。合作将在艺术驻留和研讨会中展开，在此期间，我们将根据各自的专业领域开发一种方法，同时使用最先进的机器人绘画和绘图系统制作艺术品。在此期间与相关艺术家密切合作开发的软件和工具将是开源的，从而为不断增长的艺术家和研究人员社区做出贡献。最后，最终的作品、文本和系统将在伦敦大学金史密斯学院以面向公众的展览形式展示。展览将包括展示几个机器人的现场表演装置，展示它们的内部表现和决策过程，旨在揭开机器和计算机驱动的创作的神秘面纱。通过将最先进的机器人系统与历史背景和教学策展方法相结合，我们将为公众提供一个了解机器创造潜力的内部视角。该展览将提供一个独特的机会，通过调查收集定量和定性数据，进一步调查我们的研究问题。我们将花一段后期制作时间来创建印刷目录。记录艺术品及其制作，并准备与我们合作团队中代表的不同学科相关的出版物。
