If you are ever unsure what to name a work of art, there's always the fallback, "The Duality of Man"

The one that I always use is "Man's inhumanity to Man"
thedevil
Philosophical argument, where is the line drawn (pun intended) where art stops being done by the artist and is just computer or machine
Generated. With the increase in AI the line seems even murkier than it ever was before. Is it still art? Is the person an artist?
Raeilgunne
I think, for me, where someone stops being an artist is well before where the creation stops being art. If that makes sense. Others can /1
appreciate something as art even if nothing went into it from that perspective. I don't know where the line is for an artist, though. /2
I’m genuinely not sure anymore. Computer aided drawing still counts to me. Using tools in photoshop or illustrator etc. but this looks
Like a a cnc machine had an algorithm plugged in and then did the work. Is inputting coordinates and math art? That’s where I don’t know.
stercusmoriturussum
Ahhh... those were the days. 1980s, when our school computer had no screen, but a pen plotter. And card reader, thermo printer and cassette.
mrsdowneyjr
Your back hurts too?
Much less so since I joined a back training class at the local gym.
thomerow
A man needs a SOURCE, @OP! I'd love to build that plotter myself and replicate the drawing
For anyone interested: At least I found the model of the plotter. It's an AxiDraw A1

yeah, more than the piece, I'm most impressed with the pens and plotter themselves. Perfect ink flow and great arm rigidity.

Similar idea but think older tech. They're called pen plotters.
It’s a joke, because it’s printing a 3D shape, just in two dimensions

AxiDraw by Evil Mad Scientist. They're great.

I thought the same thing too as I own one but this is much larger
Yeah they make an "A1" version which is huge!

A plotter might help you - or at least that's what they were called back then
meauho
I used to use the pen plotter at my high school to write & sign notes about why I was absent from class. Plotters were awesome.
altxatu
What are they used for? I thought it was like a drafting board or some architectural tool
It was for AutoCAD class.
TheRealFireFrenzy
can also easily make one from a cheap CNC

You can easily make one from a not cheap CNC.
also true!
ehr 3dprinter, which are basically CNCs anyways

Good luck finding a consumer 3d printer that size.
depends, can i buy new belts and 8020 extrusions? if you can its easy :)
DarkJaeger
C-n-C line art. Cool, but why?

why not?
CNC line art. Cool, that's why!
Plotter art. That's all we did with our tiny Commodore 1520 plotters back in the day.

People like to think things have a deeper reason for being, it's just something they do.

I was thinking printing would kinda be the same. We've got a real nice giant one for blueprints that would look the same. Ink may be pricier

Compensation for unsteady hand and/or lack of patience.
Or they, you know, want to.
theshinobi23
Must be the unsteady hand, because there would be plenty of patience involved it programming that into the CNC.
I think the programming probably takes less time than the planning and repetition of all those lines.
Most likely. And if you want multiples, you only have to program it once. Still a time-consuming program to make, though.
You're basically programming a set of points to draw to and when to lower and lift the pen. I think you'd write it to draw the horizontal
forResearchPurposesOnly
Unnecessary .Unless of course your intent is the process of hand drawing thousands of lines. Masturbatory and fetishistic IMO
Not sure why you're obliterated, I get your point. However not many people can afford a "CNC" this large.
Obliterated?
And if it's cheaper than I expect it to be--this is just lo-fi large-format ink printer with more steps to have g-code generated
(basically, one could argue that they could have had the same effect done faster in photoshop and then printed at a printshop).
