Freelance graphic designer Echo Yang turned everyday objects into little, autonomous art machines. Yang created The Autonomous Machines Project by making a few simple additions to the mechanisms powering objects like a vacuum and a Walkman so they would produce art. It was an experiment in generative design, which explores how algorithms and computers can create endless variations in outcomes. There’s no rhyme or reason that controls the mechanics of these objects, so each piece of art will always be different.
