Interactive Painting: Petals

Petals is an animated painting prototype. Inspired by a painting I completed during my undergrad. The original artifact has many layers created through different gloss paints transparencies. I tried to recreate this feeling in the digital version using visual elements from the original image. As participants or viewers step closer to the projection it changes with their motion. Through this prototype I was able to give new life to the original artifact as well as give participants some curatorial power and authorship of the art work. I hope to continue this exploration.

This system was created using AS3 and a sonar sensor.
