Mechanical Aleatory Digital Drawings<\/p>\n

Stylus<\/em> <\/strong>is a series of generative drawings made with a CNC on the touch screen of a tablet. They use the “Accumulation<\/a>” protocol with few layers (usually between 1 and 4). Colors are arranged by the roll of a dice and selected by hand on the tablet.<\/p>\n

Starting with a digital process, going through an analog execution and ending up with a digital file, these Mechanical Aleatory Digital Drawings are playing with the limits between real and digital and how each one of these worlds can affect the other.<\/p>\n

Each drawing is unique and part of a limited algorithmic edition.<\/strong>

    Details of the process:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Following a protocol based on my generative mural painting (Modo n.\u00b06<\/a>), 6 shapes are randomly placed on a grid (position and rotation are picked at random). In the “Accumulation” protocol, I use only one line on one side of each shape:<\/p>\n

    Three .svg files are generated with Processing. The files are open in Aspire to calculate the tool path which is saved as G code and sent to the CNC with a special stylus mounted on it. The CNC draws on the touch screen of a tablet running a painting app. The drawing is saved as a .png with no further edition.<\/p>\n
