PERFECTLY imperfect
NOT A PRINTER — A ROBOT
Plotted by a robot. Drawn by a person.
Plotted in Québec City, Canada
The Collection
FOUR EXPRESSIONS
ONE PROCESS
Every piece is plotted by the same robot, with the same inks, on the same 250 gsm paper. What changes is rarity — and what that means for you.

The Process
THE MACHINE
DECIDES NOTHING
A real pen. A real tip. Ink that touches paper. Nothing is sprayed, nothing is simulated: the tip presses into the fibre and leaves a groove.
The pen descends, traces, lifts, repositions. For hours.
The variation in ink pressure, the texture of fiber meeting metal tip: that's not a flaw. That's the proof it's real.
A machine that doesn't get tired.
A person who doesn't delegate.
When a series sells out, it is permanently retired. I never reprint. No digital version, no second edition, no exceptions.

Edition Policy
Blueprints and maps — open production. Ten or two hundred, it makes no difference: your piece is plotted after you pay, never pulled from a warehouse. No two copies are ever perfectly identical.
Generative art — closed series. Ten pieces per series. I write the code, it proposes thousands of variations, I keep ten. One series open at a time: when the next opens, the previous one closes — sold out or not. Whatever went unclaimed is never plotted again.
Portraits — one of one. A single copy, yours. What's limited here isn't the edition: it's the count. Two portraits a month.
In all three cases — every piece carries a signature on the back, invisible to the naked eye, plotted in UV ink: the number, the date, the studio. And no digital version is ever sold.
