BUSY explores the overwhelming, layered systems of urban life through generative algorithms, procedural and hand-drawn elements, created autonomously, with digital and physical outputs.

Carbon Technostructure is an interactive installation that materialises the often invisible environmental impact of digital infrastructures. By employing real-time data analysis and physical visualisation techniques, the project bridges the gap between the intangible nature of digital services and their tangible carbon footprint.

Repeater is a custom software that creates a feedback loop between a pen plotter and a pen digitizer. The process starts with the pen plotter tracing the description text. At the same time the software records and draws the text on the screen as captured by the pen digitizer.

Athletics of Transcendence explores how traditional craftsmanship can appear to legitimise and provide depth to otherwise flat computational constructs.

Created by Bjørn Karmann in collaboration with Nicolas Armand and Lars Kaltenbach, Pyrograph is a CIID project inspired by the thermal printers used for receipts in all shops. The Pyrograph draws with dots burned with a 450 °C tip on to paper and listen to the ambient sound in the room and distort the same.

Created by Hansje van Halem, an independent graphic designer based in Amsterdam (NL). the following video and images are the latest in the series of experiments that explore tension between a systematic approach, legibility, and (ir)regularity in typography.

Created by Miguel Nóbrega, Possible, Plausible, Potential is a set of three series of isometric drawings generated by code and printed with colored markers on a plotter machine. In these drawings, Miguel explores a bridge between the iterative aspect of algorithms and the utopian aspect of modern architecture.

Undef (Martin and Phillip) have just posted new documentation of their touchplotter-microproject from 2009.  They connected a 30 year old pen plotter to draw, in realtime, gestures received from an iPad. Who is still using pencils? To keep paper and pen from getting dusty, we have revived a 30 year old pen plotter and controlled […]

Created by Ole Kristensen, Work in Progress installation includes an old roland plotter programmed to doodle in Processing. With a personality of it’s own, created to replicate, in it’s own way, the doodles we do during phone conversations (Ole). Ole describes the process: Before starting up a doodle, the plotter has to be loaded wit...
