body+paint

“Body paint” by Mehmet Akten is an interactive installation - a visual instrument - allowing users to paint on a virtual canvas with their body, interpreting movement, gestures and dance into evolving compositions. It’s purpose is not to create a new interface for creating static paintings, but more a natural way of creating, directing and performing moving images in realtime, with focus on the interaction experience. What matters is not the painting created at the end, but more the sensation one experiences while using it and reacting in realtime to their own creation as it evolves - analogous to a musical instrument - while one often plays a piano to compose and record, it is quite common to just play and improvise without any concern for recording. Every note is just for the moment, a realtime reaction coming from within, in response to your journey so far. Hence when you stop moving, the painting fades away to white, leaving only the memory, like the song you just played on the piano. ..........................................................................................................................................................................................................
