Serbian artist Dragan Ilicâalong with a helpful robot friendâis creating works that would make the Rainbow Sponge Lady proud. His project, DI-2K4 , features a number of giant canvases covered in swirled paint. Regardless of what you think of the work itself, it's the process that makes this series so interesting.
The art is created with a giant robotic arm formerly used for factory production, which carries Ilic around like a paintbrush.
