This was the result of a two week long design sprint facilitated by Chitra Gurjar.
A gestural input based tool that replicates the physicality of the Abstract expressionism movement and translates it into a digital medium. I explored the design of somaesthetics to mediate a body mind union for this project. I used the infrared sensors in a Kinect to track a user’s body movements, used Processing (JAVA) to translate them into brush strokes where the weight of the stroke depended on the speed of the movement....
