Robotlab uses robots to draw or write in the way of a human hand. The installation ‘bios [bible]‘ basically contains of an industrial robot equipped with a stylus and a number of paper scrolls. The robot writes down the bible’s text in a calligraphic script akin to those monks originally used to apply. He does this with immense precision throughout seven months to continue all 66 books.
The project is to reflect the link between Religion and Rationalism in which the Script had always played a special role. Further is explained that the very first script on a computer in the basic input output system (bios) means the origin for every function of the computer later on.
