A few years ago I became interested in how children learn to see subtle
properties such as balance, strength, and tension. The child's view of the
world proved to be a fertile source of inspiration for my
research--creating machines that can see. Not surprisingly, it also gave
me some insight into what we call the "artist's eye"--the ability to grasp
an essential drama in what one sees, and communicate it through a new
medium. Armed with some ideas about visual understanding, abstraction, and
dynamics, I bought tools and made the bestiary you see here. Now I am
beginning to incorporate those ideas into my first artificial artist--a
robot that describes what it sees by designing mobiles.
