Kuka the Calligraphy Bot

I'm not gonna lie. After seeing the Book of Kells in Dublin, Ireland, this really isn't that impressive. Kuka is a robotic arm that writes calligraphy and is programmed to write out the entire Martin Luther Bible on a long roll of paper. I don't know... a robotic arm? It takes something so passionate and full of life and sterilizes it.

The fact that the Bible was chosen as the subject of this project is quite interesting. Not the first time you know... Gutenberg's Press and all. To most, it's just a book though... a literary piece. I wonder how guilty we are of the same... not in theory but in practice. I'm reminded of Craig Groeschel's bit on being a Practical Atheist. Do you really allow The Word to guide you... instruct you... shape you... change you? It's alive. Maybe that's why I'm not so sure about Kuka the Robotic Arm.
