'''''Processed Oasen // Translocal Composite Printing'''''
Processed Oasen is a project which links multiple Bauhaus locations into one site of artistic operation. Utilizing motion detection for starting points within an Image Processing algorithm, webcam input from separate locations (Deutsche National Theatre, Tempelherrenhaus) are transformed into abstract line generations based on the images of their locations. In this way, locations are synthesized into an overlayed visual output.
In order to mechanically process these operations, an HP7475A plotter is used, with some light modifications. First, the pen carriage system has been modified with some 3D printing, so that the carriage system can take Faber-Castell pens. Second, and more interestingly, the setup has been augmented with an arduino linked servo, which mechanically engages the paper set lever, allowing the system to print on a continuous roll of material. This second modification introduces most of the more complex organizations of the printing sketch, because any process will need to happen dynamically if it will be repeated, and because it thusly involves writing to a plotter port and a servo port within the sketch.
