Hackaplot
a collaborative pen-plotting art project
About
Hackaplot is a project for pen-plotter remote collaborative sharing,
mainly thought for the organization of instant digital-art events.
Hackaplot is aimed at building a creative interaction between obsolete but fascinating technology and hardware, and the latest shiny technology of the mobile internet era, like smartphones and tablets.
At present Hackaplot features a python server and several different platforms clients ( Processing, Android, iPhone/iPad ...)
The Hackaplot server allows remote, collaborative use of a HPGL pen-plotter, and it can be run in parallel-users mode, dividing the plotter sheet in independent portions assigned to each connected client, or in single-drawing mode, where the whole sheet can be collaboratively shared, simultaneously superposing drawings from different clients on the same space.
Client-server communication is done through simple OSC messages exchange.

Real and virtual plotters implemented
PyQT based server control ui with drawing monitor window
