RICKARD LJUNGDAHL EKLUND
THE ZENBOT PRIME KNOTS SERIES
15 drawings, Video, 2015

The 15 drawings of "The Zenbot Prime Knots Series“ were made with a “Zenbot” CNC-machine, with ink and brush instead of a cutting tool, in the tradition of Zen Buddhist sumi-e painting exploring the robot arm’s artistic sensibilities in terms of chance vs. control and the trace of the hand as conveyor of mind/no-mind. The motifs of the drawings are of mathematical knot theory charts, variations of closed knots, which are all variations of the circle or the enso , the zen Buddhist symbol of enlightenment, the universe and the void.

THE ZENBOT PRIME KNOTS SERIES RICKARD LJUNGDAHL EKLUND Born in 1987, Stockholm. Currently lives and works between Berlin and Gothenburg.
