Get up and do something! It is interesting that now we as a society have come full circle without ending up back where we started at all. We were active- ran and played as kids- then we played video games- then we realized this made us fat and ADHD and not we ask our video games to make us active. Oh well, give a mouse a cookie…
Well this interactive work by FlightPhase which consists of Karolina Sobecka and Jeff Crouse + Nick Hardeman, Paik Times Five was a part of a one night exhibition titled Infinite Loop, at the New Museum in Seoul, South Korea. It is paired with two other works done by Rafaël Rozendaal and Scott Snibbe.”]

Paik Times Five traces users’ movements on a digital canvas by using Microsoft’s Kinect to sense body movements. The software behind the work runs one ‘video’ of source material at a time. This is the palette from which the colours and textures being painted come. Every time the user lowers his/her arm, the source material changes at random, creating an amalgamous, unique work of digital art.
