Vita

An interactive kinetic painting, Vita is an exploration of the meeting point of my mixed media paintings with an interactive twist. My first experience with physical computing, this piece uses an Arduino Nano and servo motors, and the canvas is composed of artificial flora and acrylic. The painting may appear typical from afar, but once approached, a few of the flowers begin to bloom at the present of the visitors, greeting them kindly. As the visitor leaves the painting, the same flower wither back into the canvas; happy to see you, sad to watch you go.

An audience favorite, a short demonstration video is available through this link, as it was selected to participate at the ITP Winter show 2022.
