Workshop at Indianen

Teusday and wednesday me and the other 'drawing & printing'-people had a great workshop at studio Indianen in Antwerp.

We got to play with their Longhand Publishers.

First you place black shapes under a camera that sees only the contrast between black and white and converts it to 2D shapes on a screen. You can then change the outlines and pattern-filling of the shapes. When you are happy with your design you press the green button to fixate the layer. We quickly learned how to use and then exploit these functions to create somewhat elaborate images. I also found that I could sort-of hack this system by drawing my own shapes and symbols with black marker on white or translucent paper and incorporating them into the design. I also made an image using just my hand and for another image we use hair to create a camouflage pattern. The second day we focussed more on creating images with Illustrator and printing multiple layers on top of one another.

You could put pretty much any pen, pencil or marker into their drawing-machine and it would 'print' your design.

I really enjoyed these two days in Antwerp! It was so much fun to just be experimenting, playing and working together. It was also really great to see what the guys of Indianen made and where they worked.


Artefact

As you can probably guess, my leaves hadn't changed colour yet. So I took them to the publication station to see if the UV light (meant for silkscreens) would have any effect. Kim expressed his concern for that it probably would do anything but he set up the machine so that it would have a pretty long exposure time and I got to try it anyway. Unfortunately he was right and nothing changed :( I just have to hope for sunny days.
