STB by Peter Jellitsch

Ink on tracing paper 33 x 28 cm

STB is an amazing ink drawing series created by Peter Jellitsch, Vienna. I really like their looks, remind me of some info-graphics.

Jellitsch tells us interesting information about this series;

STB means Streambody, this series is based on a motion algorithm that is used in architectural practice to simulate wind directions and the force of air that arrives at highrise buildings. I have experimented with this program, and the outcome was solid bubbles which I have then redrawn with the directions that they had. The degree denotation that my title has (for example: STB/S02/90°) is explaining the turn of the wind-force hitting the object." See more;

Peter Jellitsch is a a 29 year old phd student from Vienna where he did a master in architecture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. Jellitsch is practicing somewhere between art, architecture and science.

"Generally I am trying to translate digital generated stuff into analog drawings. On one hand to see which differences appear between the digital outcome and the analog one, and on the other hand, i am interested in the repetitive movements that appear when i am reproducing from digital data. My work is always repititve in terms of sequences of one project. always a series of drawings, because most of my experiments are based on digital simulations."

Polargraph by Sandy Noble

Sandy Noble was exhibiting his drawing machines last week at FRAMED Gallery. The machine is a simple device, that draws picture using a normal pen, some motors and some string. The machine is called Polargraph because it uses a dual-polar coordinates system internally, rather than the regular cartesian system and computer systems tend to use.

Sandy Noble says on the project page that the mechanism is not wholly original;

"I have mainly taken inspiration from Hektor the Spraycan Robot, but in researching my machine came across prior art in the form of the AS200 Drawbot and Harvey Moon's drawing machine. And draftsmen will recognise this as a primitive, gravity assisted pen plotter." See more;

"The whole system is fairly technologically agnostic, but the current incarnation uses an Arduino microcontroller and an Adafruit Motorshield, along with a couple of stepper motors. The application that drives it from the computer is written in Processing. It decodes a bitmap and creates a map of the file using a polar coordinates system, recording pixel position, size and brightness. The hardware requests each pixel in turn, and renders it on the page using it's own shading and movement algorithms.

I'm experimenting with the rigging and the gondola all the time, trying to find the best way to hold a pen stable to let me draw reasonably quickly and accurately.
I'm using bristol board and smooth cartridge paper to draw on (bristol board doesn't come in A1 sizes), with Sharpie markers, Kuretake ZIG Writers and ZIG Millennium pens and UNIPIN fineliners for fine stuff."

Enter by Noemi Schipfer

I'm lovin' it

Do you like lines? If yes, I think you will love Noemi Schipfer's works, most of them consisting in linear drawings made with rotring on paper. I like the result of this simple technique as well as the stories and style from Schipfer. She is a Paris based freelance designer and illustrator, this one is her latest drawing series called "Enter". See more;

Random Number Multiples

Random Number Multiples debuts with two silk screened data visualizations by Jer Thorp and two abstract compositions by Marius Watz. Both artists use custom software as their medium, and have created prints in which their hands are evident by applying digital processes to an analog printing technology. See more;

Random Number Multiples provides an opportunity for artists to expand their repertoire through artwork editioning processes. It is a platform for artists to experiment with new techniques or engage with familiar ones in new ways. Launching with a carefully selected group of silk screen prints, Random Number Multiples will soon publish archival prints and 3D printed objects by artists using a variety of methods, such as laser cutting, rapid prototyping, and CNC milling.

Prints are editions of 50, and will be available exclusively through Random Number for $100 each.
