Aleatory Mechanical Drawings (DMA), 3 colors, 16 x 24 cm (6.3 x 9.4 inches).
Pigmented ink on acid-free Montval Canson 300 g. paper. Series of 99 monotypes, each drawing is unique.
The DMA_ARQdrawings are composed of three layers traced one on top of the other, each one has a different color. For each layer, the protocol builds a 2 x 3 grid. In each cell, it places a shape, randomly selected out of 24 (including an empty one). The generated image is sent to an Axidraw plotter with a marker mounted on it. Each layer uses a different color, so the marker has to be manually changed for each new one.
For DMA_ARQ[cmy], the collector can choose his drawing using the compositions generator.
To generate and order a drawing, please follow the instructions here: www.eltono.com/DMA_ARQ/.
Archival ink on 300 g. Gvarro paper.
3 colors, 20 x 18 cm. (7,8 x 7 inches).
The 9x(3C8F4R)compositions are composed of three layers stamped one on top of the other, each one of a different color. First layer is yellow, second one is red and third one is blue. For each layer, the shapes and their rotation are randomly generated. The 9x(3C8F4R)protocol works on a 3 x 3 grid with 8 shapes (including an empty one) and 4 rotations. The protocol is rigorously followed and the final result is never known before the end. Each composition is unique.
Archival ink on acid-free 300 g. Montval Canson paper.
The DMAdrawings are composed of three layers traced one on top of the other, each one has a different color. For each layer, the shapes, their position and their rotation are generated randomly. This protocol works on a 2 x 3 grid with 5 shapes, 6 positions, 8 rotations and 2 orientations for the stripes. Following these parameters, the program creates a code that is sent to the machine on which a pen is mounted. Each layer uses a different color, so the pen has to be changed before printing a new one.
Archival ink on acid-free 300 g. Aquarelle Canson paper.
2 colors, 18 x 27 cm. (7 x 10,6 inches).

The TMPcompositions consist of two layers stamped one on top of the other, each one has a different color. For each layer, the shapes and their rotation are randomly generated. This protocol works on a 3 x 3 grid with 5 shapes and 4 rotations. The protocol is rigorously followed and the final result is never known before the end. Each composition is unique.
