Place Drawing
Post Author: PlotterPen Project Year: 2026 This project shows how a place becomes recognisable as plotted lines gradually accumulate. The invitation to guess the location draws attention to which details help viewers identify an image. Students can explore how line density, detail selection and drawing order affect recognition, and consider how the plotting process […]
Golden-Ratio Moiré
Post Author: Degenerate Generated Project Year: 2026 This project shows how a hand-operated drawing mechanism can produce complex patterns through repeated geometric movements. Overlapping spirographic lines create a moiré effect, where additional bands and curves appear between the drawn lines. Students can explore how gear ratios, pen positions and overlapping layers affect the result, […]
Rainy Window Screen Plot
Post Author: Threadbreak Studio Project Year: 2026 This project shows how an everyday observation of rain collecting on a window screen can become a plotted drawing. Shapes from a photograph are traced and smoothed into curves, connecting a physical pattern to editable digital geometry. Students can use this approach to explore how tracing, simplification […]
