The Plotting Machine
The project has originated from the workshop »Borderline Functionality« given by Jürg Lehni in 2006. We converted a plotting machine into an output device, that can draw, scratch or cut with almost any traditional drawing technique, in order to achieve aesthetics looking neither drawn by hand nor produced with only a computer. Most interesting and inspiring are all the little mistakes this machine does, because of too much data, too much water, color, pressure etc. This expansion space describes the machine's actual identity. No Image looks like the other.
