Inspired by the traditions of chopsticks, the student group wanted to draw attention to the cultural heritage of the Chinese utensils. At the same time, IMA Fellow Jack B. Du took mechanical art to a new level with his artist robot, Minus E that painted intricate images pixel by pixel with a sharpie.
