A computer-controlled drawing machine that moves a pen across paper along programmed paths. Plotters made much of the first computer art in the 1960s and are widely used again by generative artists today.
Ken Knowlton and others at Bell Labs were using the same microfilm plotter to do frame after frame after frame after frame of movement and motion, creating an animated movie.
