Angela Bulloch Dynamic Stereo Drawing Machine, 2020
Sound-activated drawing machine, ink, metal rails and electronic motor, paper
170 x 300 cm
Dynamic Stereo Drawing Machine is the latest iteration in Angela Bulloch's major body of work: Drawing Machines (1990–ongoing). The work is an automated machine that draws on a sheet of paper placed on the wall. Two metal rails hold the mechanism that executes the drawing: a longer horizontal and a shorter movable vertical part. The latter one holds a pen that is pulled across the surface of the wall by combining horizontal, vertical, and elliptical movements. A small metal box on the right contains the apparatus that steers the machine.
