We developed a new expressive method called “Plotter Drawing” where digital information is converted into physical mechanical movement and drawings are drawn with writing utensils such as pencils, ballpoint pens and brush pens. Unintended scrapes and nonuniformity resulting from physical factors such as friction and weight are characteristic expressions and Plotter Drawing intentionally create such “captivating trouble.”

We were successful in showing the possibility of “new expression” where the digital and the physical coalesce by developing this method.

We have a video that summarizes the making process.

The exhibition was for 2 weeks in October 2017 at Shibuya Hikarie 8/, which is also an art base of Tokyo.

We also sold collected works and exhibition posters and more than 3,000 people visited the exhibition.

The venue is a hub as well where designers of various countries visit and we were successful in disseminating the possibility of coalescence of digital fabrication and graphic design.
