Sandpit, AIR building, University Campus Tremough, Falmouth
9 July 2012
This play day is about exploring how you can capture the physical act of drawing and how to re-manifest them using digital printing technologies. This gives participants the opportunity to investigate the interface between the physical and the digital through drawing.
What happens when you rescale physical gesture, what do marks made on one surface look like on another, what are the limitations and glitches in the technologies and what potential do they hold? These are just a few things that excite the organisers and they hope to explore.
They will be using Livescribe pens that record whatever you draw on specially printed paper, drawing and painting apps for iPads, eBeam pen tracking technology that allows large scale 2D gestures and drawn marks to be recorded, and 3D room-scale motion capture that can track full body movements in space.
The computer controlled router in the Design Centre will be
reconfigured as a 8’x4’ mark making machine, not just to reproduce, but to
transform, translate and refigure the original drawing and movements. The
router can work on a variety of surfaces with a range of media to produce
different effects, and your work can be rescaled to change its impact and
purpose.
This workshop is free for participants, funded and supported by the Higher Education Academy and University College Falmouth.
