Plotter Drawing

Description

A software engineer and creative coder, Adam Fuhrer began working with pen plotters as, in his words, “a way to bridge the gap between the digital and physical.” That concern with translation and material constraint is central to Post-it Plotter Collection, a series of miniature plotter drawings executed on standard yellow Post-it notes. Fuhrer generally prefers to work on small pieces of paper, treating each sheet as a bounded field. Within the fixed dimensions of the Post-it, his designs operate as complete, internally coherent systems, bringing the logic of algorithmic form into an intimate scale.

The images are generated using the JavaScript library p5.js and refined in Inkscape, then realized in multiple editions with an Axidraw V3/A3 plotter and pens of varying thickness. Individually titled works in the series include Sphere Study 1, Sphere Study 2, Fabric Morph, and Bezier Curves Interpolation.
