Making art
with code
& robots.
I'm Fabax, a generative artist from France, based in the Netherlands. I write art programs and output the result with a pen plotter — or digitally, as digital prints.

§ 03 — Process
From keystroke to paper.
Four stages · ~3 hrs / piece- 01
Write the seed
A short program — a noise field, a flocking system, a grid of tiny choices. The seed decides everything that follows.
- 02
Simulate & pick
Render thousands of variants on screen. Pick the one that surprises me.
- 03
Plot on paper
An AxiDraw V3 pulls the instructions over serial and draws with archival pens on 308 gsm cotton. I stay in the room. The machine never gets it exactly right — that's the point.
- 04
Sign & ship
Each piece is signed verso, packed by hand, and shipped worldwide from Etsy. The paper comes home with you.
Two ways
to keep in touch.

Plotter timelapses, work-in-progress, behind-the-code. The closest thing to a daily sketchbook.
