Human Versus Machine Vision

This is my Data Visualisation project I did in frames of my Interaction Design studies at The Glasgow School Of Art.

I was exploring concept of observational drawing comparing human and machinery vision by using eyetracker. Some of the images are my actual drawings while looking at object I am drawing and the other ones are data from the eyetracker which later was plotted with AxiDraw. Often plotter art is associated with very precise technical fine liner drawings, but while working with AxiDraw, I also decided to try more expressive media, such as ink and brush. Outcomes are quite striking as messiness of the ink could give an impression that these drawings were, actually, done by human, but incredibly straight lines done in non-human high speed with AxiDraw are breaking this illusion.
