A robot still-life class convenes in London
Artist Patrick Tresset has unveiled a new exhibition at Platform Southwark in London that features 20 robots that learn to draw while chatting in Morse code. Tresset, previously a painter who "lost his passion" for the medium, has turned to robotics and machine learning as a way to continue to explore visual art, he said. The exhibition also features three robots that will draw portraits of human subjects by building up line densities, a technique that Tresset himself learned as a child.

WIRED's senior editor Victoria Turk meets Tresset and his robots, and gets her portrait drawn by some of the talented machines. Read more: http://wired.uk/Q4N6em
