The construction of algorithms for artistic purposes was seen as a scientific form of visual research that opened up a new stage for the development of art. It holds a pen and can move accross a paper surface on a XY-axis.
#PETER PLOTTER DRAWING 1965 COMPUTER SERIES#
and a pen plotter would painstakingly draw a series of perspectives in that. I like to think of a mechanical plotter as a drawing robot. My first contact with computing occurred in early 1965 at a lunch at the. Display (paper presented at the Proceedings of IFIP Congress, 1965). Generally, the question was answered by assigning authorship and artistry to the actual formulation of the algorithms. CalComp 565 plotter 1 The first type of plotter was the mechanical plottter. the new field of computer drawing, the drafter began to be able to converse with. The question, what is art, is approached conceptually through an algorithm that automatically spits out one unique drawing after another, as though produced on a factory assembly line. They also touch upon complex questions concerning the essence of the artistic practice, by often bluntly addressing the question of authorship with computer generated plotter drawings. Although the first generation of computer artists created an output of unique plotter drawings, their main artistic interest lies in fundamental research into composition. John Frazer, as a student in 1968, plotted his final-year project on cartridge paper on a hired pen plotter with no screen graphics available. The landscape composition shows a computer plotter drawing, in black. This means that plotters are restricted to line art, rather than raster graphics as with other printers. Display board, illustrating four examples of Peter Rices work, including the. Plotters print their output by moving a pen across the surface of a piece of paper. Much more interesting are the algorithms that, when repeated, produce different results. A plotter is a vector graphics printing device that connects to a computer.
It became evident that composing algorithms that performed repeatedly to produce the same image was not particularly artistically interesting, however valuable this development would appear for the later advancement of computer graphics. Jeroen Barendse, Thomas Castro, Dimitri NieuwenhuizenĪrtists in this field of visual computer art, such as Ben Lapofsky, Lilian Schwartz, Frieder Nake, Manfred Mohr, Edward Zajec and Vera Molna, were strongly influenced by cybernetics and closely linked to the informational aesthetics developing during that time. The Hungarian-born French painter Vera Molnar is one of the few artists who pioneered the use of the computer as a creative medium starting in the late 1960s.
