What<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A prototype multi-touch capacitive data capturing device, which translates your interactions through electrical sensors as a unique generative art design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This work follows a previous capacitive project<\/a> and is inspired by the participatory design work of Becky Dodman Wainwright<\/a>.
I am exploring how interactions with a physical object or device can be used to influence a generative design through visual feedback – in this case, allowing the participant to adjust the drawing in real time.
The tacticity of the touch sensors allows more natural interactions and fluidity to dynamically change the parameters of the colour and drawing.
The visual style is based on the linear simplicity of the warp and weft used in weaving. The technique shares similarities to computational instructions and rules, which can be represented on screen by pixel based coordinates. The current visual style also references pixel art of the 1980’s and 90’s. The simplicity and limitations of the colour palettes created a distinct aesthetic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
