Human Powered Machines support material

Hi Artplay!

We’d like to show you our intentions with Human Powered Drawings with:

  1. Various outcomes by our students at RMIT in making quick drawing machines
  2. Online videos of mechanised drawing machines which approximate the scale and type of drawings
  3. Our intended layout at Artplay
  4. References of artists who have used drawing machines

Here is one machine using a pendulum01
