Hektor, a Czech writer’s dream


Hektor is a programmable graffiti robot. It could technically make its compositions via any substance inserted in its miniscule grip, but its power is in its flexibility. Jürg Lehni and Uli Franke conceived of this device, based on Jürg’s javascript interface for Adobe Illustrator that allows the direction/pathing of spaces for Hektor to navigate.

Hektor is navigated by two pulleys with a weighted balance, totally computer controlled.
