About A. L. Productions, Inc.

Paul Kirby is the creator of Dulcinea and the force behind A.L. Productions. It is through a combination of technical expertise, artistic talent and study, and a compelling curiosity that Paul has progressed on his enduring vision of creating a robot which uses real-life behaviors to create and paint original art.

The catalyst for moving forward occurred while visiting a Leonardo da Vinci museum show in Malmo, Sweden, in early 1994. The extensive exhibit, not only included some of Leonardo's notebooks, but also had drawings of machines and their life-sized, wooden replicas.

From this inspiration and without a background in art, mechanical engineering, machine-shop operations, robotic design, real-time robotic programming, pneumatics, higher-levels of Lisp programming, artificial intelligence or artificial life, Paul pursued an ambitious, parallel track for gaining proficiency in all of these areas.

In addition to countless paintings on the walls, his studio includes an eclectic combination of dedicated areas for a machine shop, electrical engineering, software development, an extensive library of art and technical books, paint and canvas preparation, Dulcinea (the robot), and a gallery area for paintings and entertaining.

Aspiration

Paul hopes that eventually his fusion of art and science might serve as a metaphor and inspire others to follow their own quixotic dreams. This might include the fusion of their own ideas into something that challenges, excites and fulfills them each day of their life.
