The project "The Dynamics of Interaction: A Tribute to Jackson Pollock" was created as part of the last course with Frieder Nake called Move on. The focus was on a creative exploration of the drip paintings by the famous artist Jackson Pollock. For the project, my fellow student Jessica Röll and I designed generative artworks using the Processing application, based on Pollock's splatter technique and line work. Additionally, we explored sensors as hardware additions and the associated Arduino interface to make the art adaptable in real-time in the spirit of Jackson Pollock.
The four distance sensors are connected to an ESP32 and respond to hand movements. With dynamic movements, the output of the artwork can be determined in real-time.
All artworks shown here have been dynamically created using our Processing algorithm.
