Pen Plotter Art + Creative Coding
Come visit a pen plotter at work, and see how you can use computer code to send to a pen plotter and be drawn using pens, pencils, highlighters, watercolor, or any tool you can fit into the robot.
We will have at least one pen plotter (AxiDraw A3 size) going at all times (there is a possibility we will have two plotters). The plotter will be plotting stickers we can then cut up and give out to people. We will offer handouts with resources for people to know more about pen plotting. We will also be demonstrating on a computer monitor simple programs in Processing that a plotter does well with. If we end up with two plotters, there is a possibility that we can help people code a small print and then plot on demand. We will also include a video (not yet made) of how I built my own plotter using OpenBuilds open source Acro system and 3d printed parts. People can ask any and all plot questions.
I do want to think if there is a way to have people create their own sketches that we then plot. However, this is difficult simply due to time limits.
