Sougwen Chung's work investigates the interactions between mark-made-by-hand and the mark- made-by-machine as an approach to understanding the dynamics of humans and systems.
A former research fellow at MIT, Chung is a pioneer of human and machine collaboration. There, they programmed and built robots named D.O.U.G. (Drawing Operations Unit Generation_X).

Hein Gravenhorst (*1937) is a co-founder of generative photography, a genre of photography that aims to generate logically comprehensible aesthetic structures based on defined programs. This genre is related to Max Bense's generative aesthetic, which provides principles for generating specific operations methodically.

HEINRICH HEIDERSBERGER: ESPACE THE DARKNESS. RHYTHMOGRAMS, 1953-1965 29 AUGUST - 9 SEPTEMBER 2023 
On view is a selection of RHYTHMOGRAMS Heinrich Heidersberger has created since the early 1950s using a self-built drawing machine. He had an influence on the history of generative photography and algorithmic art with his RHYTHMOGRAMS which are, among others, in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and influenced contemporaries such as Jean Cocteau and Herbert W. Franke.
The RHYTHMOGRAPH, as Heidersberger called his device, was redesigned several times and perfected. The larger version, which was made of conventional scaffolding, still stands fully functional in the exhibition room of the Heidersberger Institute today and takes up close to twenty square meters of floor space. Using four harmonically muffled pendulums, it creates traces of light on photographic material via a mechanically linked mirror and a point source of light. Three-dimensional images are produced by controlling the frequency, phase difference, amplitude, and transmission of the pendulums—two drive the mirror vertically and two horizontally.

PLN DD 9 is a vintage computer-generated photograph created by Vladimir Bonačić as part of his PLN series in 1969. Within the PLN series, Bonačić utilized computer-generated images and mathematical algorithms to construct visual compositions. The artworks feature numerical combinations visualized in fields containing various elements. The PLN DD 9 photograph, along with other works in the series, depicts symmetrical and asymmetrical compositions within a defined geometric raster.

A fascination with cubes is visible in Hans Dehlinger‘s work from the very beginning of his artistic expression. Among his early drawings is a series of digitally manipulated cubes, originally produced in 1986/87 on a small pen plotter. Larger drawings followed as he gained access to a larger plotter in subsequent years. One of the works from this series, a silkscreen print of CUBE 4, was Hans Dehlinger‘s first contribution to SIGGRAPH in 1989. Today, it is in the collection of the V&amp;A Museum, London.

The exhibition PLOTTED LINES by Hans Dehlinger is comprised of 26 of the artist's plotter drawings of the past three decades and shows the artist’s exploration of the medium and the line. With a focus on algorithmically generated line drawings, Dehlinger bases his generative artworks on computer code executed on pen plotters, forming delicate structures, dense textures, or even evoking an unsharp impression from sharp lines.
