          "description": "With a background in both art and mathematics, Aleksandra Jovanić has a strong affinity for graphs and diagrams. In “(The illusion of) depth of knowledge,” she explores apophenia, the tendency to perceive a connection or meaningful pattern between unrelated or random things. Each drawing in the series is generated through random numbers, but the internal connections suggest that more is happening. In Aleksandra’s words, these images show “how things in life are pretty simple most of the time, but we tend to complicate them.”\n“(The illusion of) depth of knowledge” is a software NFT, but the first collector of each edition will receive the corresponding plotter drawing shipped directly from the artist’s studio. Each software NFT includes millions of other images beyond the primary image for each edition. The software NFT and the plotter drawing aren’t linked together; the NFT can continue to be collected on a secondary market without the drawing. Click on the artwork or press the spacebar to generate a new image with a different random seed value.\nThe image you see on the main artwork page on Feral File is the plotter drawing for the artist-proof (AP). Compare this image of the drawing to the corresponding software version of the AP to see how the software image and the plotted drawing are related. Because the artists are using a range of papers and inks, the software and physical drawings are delightfully different.\nThe “(The illusion of) depth of knowledge” drawings are 35 × 62 cm (13.8 × 24.4 inches) on Woodstock Cipria Fedrigoni 285 gsm paper. They are drawn with red Stabilo Fineliner 0.4 mm and black Faber-Castell 0.1 mm pens.",

          "description": "Iskra Velitchkova is constantly moving back and forth between working with code and working with physical materials, in order to better understand the behavior and output of both. Her “CHERTI” artwork is a series of drawings that explore the relationship between physical drawings and software drawings. On that topic, Iskra writes, “The difference between digital and physical allows me to see the process itself. The constraints of the pen, the paper, and many other circumstances that only happen in real life make me more aware of how much we can learn from technology and its capacity to produce complexity.” The software drawing seen in the web browser is a small window of the full composition, to show more detail. The physical drawing reveals the whole picture, and both views are displayed together to convey this relationship.\n“CHERTI” is a software NFT, but the first collector of each edition will receive the corresponding plotter drawing shipped directly from the artist’s studio. Each software NFT includes millions of other images beyond the primary image for each edition. The software NFT and the plotter drawing aren’t linked together; the NFT can continue to be collected on a secondary market without the drawing.

Compare this image of the drawing to the corresponding software version of the AP to see how the software image and the plotted drawing are related. Because the artists are using a range of papers and inks, the software and physical drawings are delightfully different. Iskra uses two different color schemes selected randomly in the digital version of each digital edition, but the physical drawings associated with the editions will have the same colors and will match the AP.\nThe “CHERTI” drawings are 50 × 70 cm (19.8 × 27.6 inches) on ivory Fabriano Rosaspina 220 gsm paper. They are drawn with black, brown, and red Muji Gel Ink pens.",

          "description": "James Merrill’s “Chaos Blocks” drawings explore the tension between order and chaos. Each drawing in the series is reminiscent of a geological drawing, and we see them created on the screen as each layer draws on top of the next. After the layers are created, each is filled with an unexpected, vibrant pattern. James is reacting against the inhuman perfection that often characterizes visual art created through machines. With this focus, his work has a strong relationship to many of the first plotter drawings created in the 1960s that explored randomness to circumvent precision. James amplifies this further with his library of dense and meticulous patterns.\n“Chaos Blocks” is a software NFT, but the first collector of each edition will receive the corresponding plotter drawing shipped directly from the artist’s studio.

Each image in the series is the result of partitioning a square into a series of smaller areas and then filling those areas with a dense group of curved lines. The spacing of these lines, their orientation, and their precise curvature are defined by harmonic functions that create rhythms within a spatial geometric melody.\n“Umwelt” is a software NFT, but the first collector of each edition will receive the corresponding plotter drawing shipped directly from the artist’s studio.

They are intricate but chaotic. Gloomy or bright, they are all colorful, tangled, and bizarre.” A selection of 31 phrases from her internal monologues are the seeds for the random number generator that defines each artwork in the series. The visual manifestation is a dense surface of flowing curves that intersect and create networks.\nBecause Licia is using paint and brushes to translate her images from code to paper, the difference between what’s seen on screen and on paper is significant. For example, on screen a series of dense lines fill the image, but these lines merge into solid blocks as the paint spreads through the paper. The relationship to both representations (screen and on paper) is a significant element of Licia’s images.\n“Endless Monologue” is a software NFT, but the first collector of each edition will receive the corresponding plotter drawing shipped directly from the artist’s studio.

Eventually, he stopped creating landscapes and portraits by hand and his work with code took center stage, but he never stopped working with traditional art materials. His graphite plotter drawings and hand-painted murals created from his code are essential elements of his work. For –GRAPH, Tyler has created “F(l)ight,” a study of the aesthetic overlap and differences between the natural world, hand-made artwork, and algorithmic tendencies. It’s a return to his long-standing interests in the continuum of representational images to total abstraction. In relation to his idea that code and algorithms become increasingly important within culture and art, Tyler says, “I am interested in what parts of the analog world we can capture, what we can improve, and what is lost.”\n“F(l)ight” is a software NFT, but the first collector of each edition will receive the corresponding plotter drawing shipped directly from the artist’s studio.

  "summary": "When I created my first plotter drawing in 2015, it was a personal revelation. Fifteen years earlier, when I had just started translating my code systems into drawings on paper, I didn’t even know what a plotter was. In 2006, I saw my first historical plotter drawings at the Sonic Acts: The Anthology of Computer Art exhibition in Amsterdam and I was shocked by the material quality of the drawings. The wide range of papers and colors felt nothing like the generative drawings I had seen before. At that moment, I felt the constraints of relying on the limited papers prepared for printing and the pigments required for contemporary printers. Compared to the deep world of inks, paints, and the huge variety of papers that can be used with plotters, most printers require inks and papers that are only available in a very narrow range.",
