Ken, I agree that disobedience offers vital
counter rhythms to the blind obedience of
reliable industrial robots. Perhaps the
beauty is in the disobedience, as when a note
is slightly off key or a Robert Irwin pencil
line is lightly nonlinear. Paul Haeberli
also seeks this imperfection with in his
CAD tools that turn wireframes back into line
drawings...
