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. | In order to mechanically process these operations, an HP7475A plotter is used, with some light modifications.

The Output of these processes is to be printed on fabric, which can be used in a number or ways. Long tapestries could be produced, or tote bags could be produced. The time stamp of when the location data was taken will printed along with the abstract lines, so spectators at each location could potentially coordinate which bag they would take based on their presence at the given location at the given time. | |||
