few day in the Caroux / Espinouse region. few humans. old stone walls everywhere. mist day was the best day !

a green steep hill slope contrasting with a white cauliflower-like cloud.

mist just at eye level, coming from a eroded valley (schist).

few pines on a rocky point, with a sea of cloud behind.

mostly bright white mist with a dissolved tree shape.

designed for #ptpx 2025 : exploration with elevation data, scales, and lines. horizontal lines that break where the ground is lower, arranged in a grid. The seal indicates scale and geographical coordinates. #dataviz #penplotter

Ink drawings of fragmented blue horizontal lines arranged in irregular blocks of textured paper, with a red seal in the bottom right corner.

Close-up detail of the blue line blocks and the red stamp bearing geographic coordinates and scale.

Twelve drawings from the series laid out in a grid on a tatami mat, each showing a unique variation of the blue line pattern.

two fine art exhibitions in Nantes: about the graphical interpretation of rain (Art Museum) and cartography (Lieu Unique). Happy holidays!

but you have them :) not sure about the 3D printing part, but with open-data digital elevation models and R the workflow is quit straightforward. i can dig into some code if you're interested.

indeed, outside it is. A book about creative processes for rule-based concrete poetry. Lovely and informative essays alongside the illustrations! A fine way to support artists, imho.

I made a small improvement in the sampling process, to methodically explore a region using an hex grid. I find it easier to get surprised by the topology this way. Its the Gers departement in France, because i found this watershed particularly beautiful. coded with #rstats

Finished my #ptpx plotter postcards! I focused on a rolling landscape, with gentle but asymmetrical ridges. Each drawing corresponds to a 20x20 km region. It's yours, unknown #penplotter friends 😇

Patterns based on Truchet tiles from the ineffable Dan Catt @revdancatt.com (and his mysterious kitty AI assistant). Greeting card and postcard !

Starting the year with some pictures of the #ptpx worldwide postcards exchange (thanks @paulbutler.org !). The drawings are made with code and traced on paper using a pen-plotter machine, so that most of them are unique. I started hanging them around my workplace, as fabulous inspiration devices.

If you'd like to deal with complexity in biological systems with tools from physics and adjacent fields, the INTP team in the Pyrénées is a fascinating research place! I'm so curious of how agrosystems fit in this landscape. intp.science/en/content/2...
