In the 50s and 60s, the first computational artists used drawing machines — or pen plotters — to visualize works that the computers of the time could not yet render on screen.
60 years later, advancements in computing and the democratization of printing have made these slow and impractical machines obsolete. But they have found a new life in the hands of digital artists who see them as a way to make their work, often confined to screens, more tangible, more moving, more human.
