I Gave Claude Access To My Pen Plotter
Summary
This article documents an experimental collaboration where Claude controls a pen plotter to generate SVG drawings, including multiple iterations and Claude's reflections. It also features Claude's own meta-article on drawing itself, exploring constraints, iteration, and the difference between digital prompts and physical medium outcomes. The piece illustrates practical AI-assisted creative workflows and the evolving tension between structured AI outputs and expressive, physical artifacts.
