Abstract

![CDATA[This visual paper tells on the experience of drawing and how its skills translate into technologies that expand it to a new level of intelligence. Traditionally, drawing was a physical activity conditioned by its two-dimensional support (e.g. rock walls, parchment, paper). However, its visibility changed over time. It was often hidden behind an illumination or painting. For modernist and post-modernist sketchers, the core complexity of drawing was still a challenge since it depended on multiple combinations of two elements: lines and dots, it was a solitary endeavour that kept a distance between a subject and its object and from a potential audience, and it was likely an individual subjective observation of an event, an object or the world. However, technology in today’s meta-modernist era has broken a sketcher’s isolation and his/her Cartesian framework with co-evolutionary, embodied and immersive dynamics, three-dimensional virtual space-based scenarios, and artificial and machine learning intelligence. These are new experiences between the mind, body and the environment that enact drawing as an activity of shared knowledge physically and digitally with technological mediation and telepresence with others. Findings indicate to behaviour that no longer relates to a two-axis relationship between pen and paper only. Outcomes of this visual paper intend to depict a current take on milestones for the transformation of drawing from pre-classic skills to augmented virtual scenarios where the subject is also embedded with the object of observation, the interaction with it and other artificial agents that require new expertise that can enrich this practice’s narrative and application.]]
