Scripts
A Chronicle of Incidents
A rotating arm in the middle of a white page holds a pen on an expandable rod, whose rotatory movement is provoked by an electronic board that controls both the speed of revolution and the distance between the pen and the centre of the device. The pen’s circular trajectory creates thin lines of ink as a deformed circle; over time, as many circles overlap, varying densities of ink appear on the page, showing the possible paths that the anatomy of the machine permits.
Scripts is an experiment in which physical parts compose mechanisms that compels a movement of a pen on a paper canvas. The drawing machines are fuelled by low voltage electricity, and their movements are controlled by electronically induced impulses. This enables them to potentially connect to the outside world, able to receive information numerically, sensed from the city, to convert data into drawings.
Scripts – a chronicle of incidents is a collaboration between the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia and the Casa elizalde in Barcelona. The exhibition featured projects initiated as an investigation at the MAA of the IAAC in fall 2015 by Edouard Cabay and Rodrigo Aguirre.
