Silhouette: Altered

This project aims to explore ways of materializing a connection between traditional craft and advanced technology in design. By altering the function of a cheap vinyl cutter through the replacement of its main feature (cutting) with primitive drawing tool (Charcoal) the machine adopts a new role as a printing plotter. While the machine tries to make a perfect drawing, the limitation and fragility of the adopted tools change the kind of aesthetics expected from the machine. The output is always unpredictable, making it impossible to produce the same result twice.
