A line of enquiry through digital practice on drawing in contemporary art

If conventional drawing is with a pen/cil/stick tool applied to making marks on a canvas - ok??? then physical act of replicating this sensation of drawing with application of Laser tagging/grafitti, could this be said an act of drawing???
if so how far does this concept go with changing the tools and mediums????

some argue that writing is simply writing and not a means of drawing visual symbols [visual language] that inform [or translate] a written and spoken language.... So if that is the case how would writing a code or formula to design/record a traceable made mark within or to a canvas realistically or virtually be a way drawing???

Can you write visual language as you could draw spoken language?

Paint Whole Buildings with Light Graffiti

• By Rob Beschizza  February 21, 2007  |  1:04 pm  |  Categories: R&D and Inventions

The Graffiti Research Lab takes a laptop, projector, a high-resolution camera, and a 60 megawatt green laser, and decides to do something cool with it. The rest of the story might speak for itself, but to believe it, it must be seen: astonishing laser-guided light-graffiti that covers entire buildings.

The L.A.S.E.R. Tag installation, stashed in the back of a van or upon a cart, aims the camera on the target surface and tracks the laser pointer’s movement over it. It then uses the high-powered DLP projector to paint the traced image.

The sad thing is that most will use it to slash out tags rather than do anything creative with it. I know, deep down, that my first personal experience of this technology will likely be seeing the name “SUB” projected onto Canary Wharf as my train rolls into London’s Liverpool St. Station.

Thankfully, the system looks kinda complicated and expensive to set up (it’s open-source!), which, one hopes, may encourage more scenes from classic video games. The how-to is here.

Watch the video past the jump.

paula has pretty much hit the nail on the head with what il be doin but just to clarafy i will be looking at how the drawn line is inportant to his work and why that medium in perticular is perfect for the work he does talk a little bit about the conventional asspects of it and reference a few on his works easy peesy maybe throw in a few other artists that draw in the same way will see how many words i cn get loveings emxxxxx
