For me, I noticed that after looking through many of the AxiDraw drawings, the line harsh and defined line quality becomes a bit repetitive, where the drawings become stiff, and have that static quality. I became more interested in works that moved beyond spinograph variations and moved past the machine-like quality.\r\n\r\nJakub Antolak's \"Figura 63\" was one which I thought stood out from the other AxiDraws. The texture, due to the variation in line-width and density between strokes, feels organic, almost like a close-up view of muscle fibers or a microscopic view of cells. I think a lot of this is caused by the intricate cross hatching with a super-fine pen, that when overlapped, creates the illusion of \"thicker\" and \"thinner\" strokes. I think it's also interesting how the piece is symmetrical, where the image is mirrored across the diagonal line that runs from the upper right corner to the lower left corner. I wasn't able to notice that the image was symmetrical at all at first glance, where the organic nature and the crisp linework allows your eyes to become lost in its form.<\/pre>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-283\" src=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/60-428\/f2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/plottertwitter-480x480.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/60-428\/f2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/plottertwitter-480x480.jpeg 480w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/60-428\/f2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/plottertwitter-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/60-428\/f2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/plottertwitter-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/60-428\/f2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/plottertwitter-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/60-428\/f2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/plottertwitter-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/60-428\/f2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/plottertwitter-1200x1200.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/60-428\/f2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/plottertwitter.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 85vw, 480px\" \/><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-theme=\"dark\">\n<pre>Figura 63 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/plottertwitter?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#plottertwitter<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/axidraw?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#axidraw<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/generative?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#generative<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/generativeart?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#generativeart<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/creativecoding?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#creativecoding<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/javascript?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#javascript<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/algorithmicart?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#algorithmicart<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/TSNuGigjmQ\">pic.twitter.com\/TSNuGigjmQ<\/a>\r\n\r\n\u2014 Jakub Antolak (@jakub_antolak) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jakub_antolak\/status\/1432387721167876099?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 30, 2021<\/a><\/pre>\n<\/blockquote>\n<pre><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jakub_antolak\/status\/1432387721167876099\/photo\/3\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/jakub_antolak\/status\/1432387721167876099\/photo\/3<\/a><\/pre>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>#PlotterTwitter showcased really impressive AxiDraw artwork overall, where each artist shared unique styles and approaches towards creating intricate linework.
