Inspiration for this exhibit was Zuses flatbed drawing machine Z64 from the year 1956. We developed an easy to programm pen-plotter inviting the visitors to explore the basics of coding. It uses simple building blocks that are associated with basic code constructs. The code of each block is translated into a simple pseudo-code displayed on the screen. This code navigates the pen. When the visitor sends the code to the plotter, they can watch the visual output on the paper simultaneously with the executed code on the screen. Every visitor can take home their own drawn artworks.
