ABOUT THE STUDIO
What isCodeInk art?
CodeInk.art is a precision pen-plotter art studio in Québec City, Canada. Every piece is composed and prepared by a person, then physically drawn by a robot holding a real pen on 250 gsm paper. The studio creates technical blueprints, personalized maps, generative art and portraits. No finished artwork is digitally printed.
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 fibre 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.
