Description
"Algorithmic art drawn with a robot," in Surguy's own framing: gel pen on Canson paper at 14 × 11 inches, from the node-based procedural systems he builds in Blender — vector fields and flow lines returned to paper by machine. Surguy, Kharkiv-born and Tacoma-based, also keeps half the plotter community supplied with tools: he founded DrawingBots and PlotterFiles. Surguy is a programmer who builds community tools, which is close to my heart — and the gold in this piece is particularly luscious.
