Claude given a real pen and paper for an art contest drew a black hole
lvwerra · x · 2026-10-15
Developer lvwerra gave Claude a real pen and paper (via a NextDraw pen plotter) with a simple task: enter an art contest. Claude chose to "simulate a black hole" — the plotter layered dense fine lines on dark paper to render an accretion disk and starfield. The full process and result were shared as video, a fun demo of pairing LLMs with physical output devices.
