Golan Levin - Thursday May 21st

Join us Thursday night at Machine Arts Gallery for an evening featuring the work of artist, educator, and researcher Golan Levin.

This exhibition centers around a fascinating intersection of drawing machines, printmaking, and animation. One of the featured motion works begins as plotted intaglio, a printmaking process in which a plotter equipped with a scribe engraves directly into copper plates with extreme precision. Rather than treating the plotter as a simple drawing tool, the machine becomes part of the printmaking process itself, producing engraved frame sheets that carry both mechanical structure and human artistic intent.

These plotted frames were then transformed into animation using Plottermation, software developed by Golan Levin to convert plotted frame sequences into moving image works. The resulting animations blend physical media, computational process, and motion into a unique visual language that exists somewhere between drawing, cinema, and machine choreography.

This exhibition will also mark the first time computational intaglio works will be exhibited publicly in this form, presenting an entirely new intersection of traditional printmaking and machine-driven generative process. By combining engraved copper plates, plotted frame sequences, and computational animation, the work opens a new space between physical artifact and digital motion.

In addition to the animated works featured in the flyer, the exhibition will include a broader collection of Levin’s projects exploring generative systems, drawing machines, motion studies, and computational art practices. Visitors will have the opportunity to experience how traditional artistic techniques can merge with robotics, code, and precision motion systems to create entirely new forms of visual expression.

Whether you are interested in printmaking, animation, creative coding, robotics, or experimental drawing systems, this exhibition offers a rare chance to see these processes brought together in person at Machine Arts Gallery.
