@greweb&#39;s #9 plot loop. The 1920p animation is the main digital art. NFT is available in 6 editions, one per frame. First buyer of each edition can collect related frame to acquire the physical art (selected by buy order. PM @greweb, ship anywhere in the world). Secondary market is digital only. plotted on Bristol paper with black fountain pen. See greweb.me/plots/178

Here is &quot;Shell&quot; my 9th <a href="https://greweb.me/2021/05/plot-loops">&quot;plot loop&quot; (see article)</a>. The main digital art is a 1920p video loop of 6 frames available as a <a href="https://www.hicetnunc.xyz/objkt/154538">Tezos hicetnunc NFT</a>. The physical art is 6 frames of A4 size, plotted with a black fountain pen on Bristol paper, and offered when <a href="https://www.hicetnunc.xyz/objkt/154538">buying the NFT</a> (6 editions, assigned in buy order).

I&#39;ve rebooted one of my plot code (one from 100th&#39;s celebration) and animated it by rotating the center gravity. One of the usual challenge I had to face is the fact many strokes were placed at the same area and had risk to dig into the paper. I&#39;ve used my usual &#39;grid counter&#39; technique but this time pushed it to extreme in that it started making &quot;dots&quot; a bit like in the stippling technique. Dots are aligned to the grid that is used by the algorithm.

I then met one of the biggest difficulty of my plot: the fact the paper will start waving a bit with the humidity of the ink. It creates two problem: imprecision and unplanned strokes (lines when the robot move it).
I countered this problem by reversing my plot and starting from the center:

Some of the plots have small remaining imperfection that I judged being part of the art.
