Reflections: Painting With Pixels by Moskal, web art, 2009
"Reflections: Painting With Pixels" is an interactive art installation that involves a viewer in pixel painting of his or her image. The process of pixel painting is stretched in time and fragmental, allowing the viewer to contemplate on the generated image. It captures the viewer in segments of time and displays multiple instances of his or her image. The generated image continuously reinvents itself according to the viewer's position and movement. The viewer is captured via live video feed from a web cam.
Technical Note: This project requires Flash Player and a web cam. Make sure your web cam is not used by other applications, and most importantly, that it is turned on. Mac users might have to select the video source from the Flash Player settings.
Tip: It's important that to have sufficient amount of light in the room and a good contrast between yourself and what's behind you, the background. Enjoy the piece!
