Retracer, Master's Degree Project – ÉSAD d'Amiens, 2022.

Traditionally, letters are drawn through bodily gestures with specific tools. But what would it be like with a machine? This project explores the creation of letters and gestures using a pen plotter. By physically and algorithmically hijacking the pen plotter, this project examines how this machine can influence the traces it produces. Experimentation with various mediums and gestures results in singular and unique letters.
