In Motion
produced by: Elina Virdziniece
The project is about digital painting of motion, it is an interactive installation that translates motion (captured by camera) into an expressionist style painting. Expressionism refers to art in which the image of reality is distorted in order to make it expressive of the artist’s and/or machines (for this installation) inner feelings or ideas.
I hope the experience for the participants will be relaxing and I hope they will enjoy the experience of trusting a machine to paint them the way it ‘feels’.
The input is computer vision and output is a projection on fabric to represent canvas.
Expressionist style paintings
I used OpenFrameworks add-on ofxFlowTools example (created by Matthias Oostrik) as a start for the code for this installation. [https://github.com/moostrik/ofxFlowTools]
