Robotic Scribe

Via the Daily Dish.

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.

Starting with the old testament and the books of Moses ‘bios [bible]’ produces within seven month continuously the whole book. All 66 books of the bible are written on rolls and then retained and presented in the library of the installation.

See here for the full post with more information. This raises other issues than a silk-screen Sefer Torah, maybe similar to machine-made matzah that is to be used for fulfilling the mitzvah of eating matzah, but it seems like an interesting question.
