I was chosen to participate in SIGGRAPH 2023 and decided to showcase a unique combination of art, code, and pen plotters with an interactive art installation. The installation allowed users to create their own drawings using a MIDI controller, see the image on a screen, and then send it to a pen plotter to be drawn and taken home. I had to address challenges like creating generative algorithms for quick plotter drawings, handling the queue of artwork, and integrating user interactions through MIDI controllers. Despite some setbacks and challenges with connections and equipment, the installation was a success, with over 230 drawings created at the event.
