Website of the week 5

These contemporary drawing machines echo some of the devices on show at Cybernetic Serendipity in 1968 while simultaneously rejecting a modernist trajectory by the use, in many cases, of pre-digital technology. Some of them definitely possess a certain Victorian mad scientist chic.



I'm not sure what to make of these yokes. Are they just weird contraptions with pens attached? Is the art in what is produced, the means of the production, or a combination the two? Anyway you can check out the set here

The real art lovers amongst you might like to watch this. I think Leonardo would have approved.

Thanks to Sean Fallon at Gizmodo for this gem
