Calligraphy
The installation 'bios [bible]' consists of an industrial robot, which writes down the bible on rolls of paper. The machine draws the calligraphic lines with high precision. Like a monk in the scriptorium it creates step by step the text.

Well, to some degree it is handwritten, by a computer. It's not like it's mass producing these texts. Each letter is being drawn just like if it were to be made by a human.

I didn't know it takes so many strikes for one letter in calligraphy. It's impressive when I realise how much effort it took for all those books to be really hand written by humans.

Interesting from the viewpoint of the technical aspect of getting a robot to write so precisely. Just a pity it couldn't have written something more useful than the bible.

It is ink, it looks like ink, it feels like ink, that's the difference to printing.
I'd rather have a handwritten bible than a printed one, even if it is handwritten by a machine.

Impressive precision technology, but not something I'd want to go watch. And still a bit slower than a human, it might be possible to do it faster without losing precision.

Indeed it is strange for Germany to be doing something like this, considering Christianity is quite new to the nation.

#22 Quite new to the nation? Christianity is known in germanys area way back since year 700 ..just back then this area wasnt called germany 
So as far as i know this religion is known here even before germany became germany =)

Use your head people. It is German technology.Johannes Gutenberg,a german made the first printing press and printed a page from bible first.So it is fitting that they would showcase this in this fashion.

What an amazing invention. If this takes off we could all own books ourselves!
