Announcing Sequence Fest - an upcoming group exhibition exploring works of plotter art in motion. The idea of making frame-by-frame animations with my plotter has been an ongoing obsession bc of the imperfection, quirks, and texture imbued in the result.

The original statue I scanned at @brooklynmuseum in 2012. One of my favorite little statues in the museum.

Alexander the Great statue animated by creating 6 frames made with 6 paintings painted on the @bantamtools WaterColorBot.

@mariuswatz I might have seen these if they were lasered in Berlin at Martin’s place.

ArcSurf, laser drawings on MDF for "Mark Making" at Mediaruimte, Brussels, 2011 (Packing stuff up for moving to a new house..)

Introducing the @bantamtools WaterColorBot™ youtu.be/kP0agS2EowM?si… Here are some of my favorite paintings I've made to test and explore greyscale/bluescale/brownscale paintings with the #WaterColorBot.

A new version (v0.1.8) of p5.plotSvg, my @p5xjs library for plotter-oriented SVG output, is now out. It includes support for Inkscape layers and several bug fixes. github.com/golanlevin/p5.… #plotterTwitter #creativeCoding #generativeArt

The third issue of Machine Arts Magazine is here. Order your copy today on bantamtools.com Featuring #AndeeCollard on plotting with paint, a conversation with digital art pioneer #AMichaelNoll, a living room art factory and workflow deep dive with @Licia_He , a studio visit with #FisonandRohrbacher, an artist statement from #JoelCammarata, a Q&A with #MMachine, and creative coding workflows for pen plotters with @bre with a contributor note from Maksim Surguy.

@chilltulpa @fx_hash_ @VolatileMoods Thank you

@bre @fx_hash_ @VolatileMoods Heya Bre, the site upload should be around the 21st. Official release begins on the 28th!

If you’ve been around fxhash, you’ve been graced by @VolatileMoods. His (21st) series is here: ‘Rayincarnations’ Wildly abstract, razor refined line-work. Compartments lock into an unreadable map. Ink blocks meet open space, resolving into tiny machine glyphs. January 28. 🤍

a great pairing. ❤️‍🔥

#Genuary Day 11: Quine. A program that when run, writes it’s own program. Definitely a palindrome style code approach. I used the font created earlier this month with snake text to render this. If you create this program it will write itself out in svg format without text. I didn’t find this visually compelling so I didn’t plot it, but it was a pain in the butt to create so here it is.

My hidden line removal system is likely too aggressive.

#Genuary Day 12: Boxes Only!I added a voxel mode to my STL2SVG program. Here’s the Stanford Bunny “voxelized” with strong minecraft vibes. I set it up so that I can color it with parallel pens. Images are of the STL file, Voxelized STL File, SVG Drawing File, and an animated GIF because now I just build in a gif exporter into everything I can. Posting this early because I'll be AFK (Away From Keyboard) tomorrow.

#Genuary Day 13: Self Portrait. I created an image composite tool to layer lots of photos on top of photos. This photo was taken a long time ago for an Inc Magazine Article and I use it as a demo file when I am trying to make programs that make portraits which took up a bunch of 2025. I decided to figure out a way to composite all the photo derivatives I’ve made of this image into a video and a overlay. My auto eye finding program was crappy so I built a manual eye finding process to fix all the mistakes my automatic eye finder made. Adding a gif of all the photos in sequence because now I add a gif creator to everything I can.

Your screen resolution will add even more moiré effects. Learn more here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moir%C3%A…

#Genuary Day 10. Polar Coordinates. Inspired by Vincent Pidone and James Nolan Gandy, I made a rotary moiré pattern maker. I'm AFP (Away From Plotter) so here is the digital version. The idea here is cyan, magenta and yellow are all set up in alternating concentric rings and then the black set of rings is very slightly oval creating a rotary moiré effect.
