In July 2023, Evan and I were fortunate to be included as exhibitors at OpenSauce 2023 in San Francisco. The event was really great, and featured a huge range of interesting makers and builders doing strange and fascinating things with technology1. Our exhibit built on our creative practice working with CNC drawing machines as 90percentart. In addition to sharing off some of our existing work, we built an interactive tool for collaborative generative art-making with attendees. Built with RGB slide potentiometers from adafruit (wired up via I2C), a Raspberry Pi 3a+ and some laser cut parts, the tool allowed users to manually explore the parameter space & aesthethic possibilities of a simple generative art algorithm we coded in python. When users found a design they liked, they could press a button to send it to us for live drawing on our CNC pen plotter at the conference. The resulting draw was theirs to keep. Overall, the build was a great way to engage and collaborate with conference
