Turning ideas and visions into drawings using programmable robot plotters. Participants can find out and try how algorithms can help in visualizing structures, how automated machine methods can extend general possibilities in realising a drawing. Today computer graphics is mostly made up of electrical and virtual pixels. But before the advent of screens, visual content was displayed using plotters, robots, other materials and special processes. Nowadays, these alternative, slower, more unique imaging processes are gaining more interest due to the overwhelming imagery and visual environment. During the workshop, participants use markers and paints to draw digital content, vectors, lines, shapes on art paper and other media. They then learn the basics of computer graphics and how to control robotic arms, as well as playfully getting closer to traditional methods of image making. We are using custom software for converting the visual materials into plotter compatible, vector based drawings.
At the end of the event, the finished works are free to take away.
