painting

Digital picture frames are pretty old news now. But a new Kickstarter campaign has our attention -- with a promise of a digital display which uses ambient light sensors and some smart tech to look indistinguishable from an actual framed work of art. You get a massive library of images, too.

To figure out what color to paint our walls, we used a bunch of online tools, from paint company’s sites to Adobe Color Wheel, to get just the right look. Then we tried out a paint sprayer to see if it really was any easier than doing the job by hand. There are some parts of painting that tech hasn’t figured out how to help with yet, though.

Researchers are baffled by a chemical reaction that causes paintings to fade, and now they hope some high-tech help will tell them why.

A new smart robot painting system for assembly lines takes yet another job which was previously carried out by humans.

A team of researchers at McGill University's School of Computer Science are using dot-painting drones to create impressive pop art-style murals near their lab.

An artificial intelligence algorithm created by China’s search giant, Baidu, is taking a crack at composing original music inspired by images.

Scientists at the Imperial College London have developed software that lets a human paint a picture with a robotic arm using just their eyes.

Artists Ekaggrat Singh Kalsi and Daniel Canogar have discovered how to paint with light using 3D printers.
