http://mlyon.com/blog pen and ink portrait of the artist's wife executed under computer control. Mike Lyon is a visual artist working in Kansas City, Missouri. In recent years he's been making large scale drawings, paintings and woodcuts, aided by several CNC machines and the programs he authors to control them.

This short video documents the beginning and end of a portrait drawn in a spiral of 1 inch 'tiles' inspired in part by Jacques Mellan's 1649 engraving "Sudarium".

  • Did your machine write your comment, Tonio? What part did you contribute?

    The 'answers' are pretty much the same for both of us, I think... The machine is a tool we use to facilitate our communication... Only a tool. Like a pencil 'sorta'.
