Tracing the Line: the art of drawing machines and pen plotters.

Vetro Editions and Generative Hut partner up again to create a new AR publication featuring 100 contemporary cutting-edge artists.

The use of pen plotters and other drawing machines has become an important part of the contemporary generative and digital art scene. Tracing the Line showcases the works of 100 contemporary artists who use these machines in their practice, including some stellar headliners such as Pavlovpulus, Matt DesLauriers, Tyler Hobbs, Zancan, Landlinesart, Alida Sun, Joanie Lemercier, Shedrawswithcode, Sougwen Chung, Julien Gachadoat, Rev Dan Catt, Lars Wander, Frederik Vanhoutte, Arno Beck, DiDiffArt, LIA, Targz, Jürg Lehni and Loackme.

The book also features an introduction by Wolf Lieser, director of DAM Projects in Berlin, on the pioneers of the generative art movement who paved the way for the artists in this book.

An incredible variety of different techniques and styles are shown, highlighting the diverse range of possibilities and approaches that pen plotters and other drawing machines offer. Tracing the Line is a must-read for anyone interested in contemporary generative and digital art world.
