Painting with Plotters

Pen plotters are accessible robots with a rich history of delivering code-based art to the physical world. In this presentation, I demonstrate how plotters can preserve and innovate conventional techniques while critically engaging artists and viewers in human-machine collaborations. I discuss how code and robots seamlessly bridge digital and physical creations. I also share how to develop robot-operating toolkits and generative algorithms that enable experiments with unconventional plotting materials.
