The machines used when collecting donated blood are called automated blood drawing machines. It can be understood differently depending on the point of view either being medical or artistic. This coincident intrigued the group and strengthened the idea of creating a hybrid of art, sustainability and medicine in form of the installation. This gives us a possibility to play on the word draw. We combine aspects from both the medical and the artistic machines and create our own version, Automated Blood Drawing Machine. Our drawing machine uses blood and is automated but it is an artistic machine, so instead of drawing blood it draws with blood and using a system creates images.
