Just to awake this dead blog… see some projects what may generate some emotional response of yours ):

In the above video, the software continuously computes a Voronoi diagram colored according to pixels seen by a video camera. The tiles reshape themselves and move into place as the camera imagery changes.’ [Shiffman]

In the interactive, computer-supported installation of the Cologne artist, Vera Doerk, the viewer is confronted with his own image photographed by a camera in realtime. This image appears on a projection wall as part of a virtual three-dimensional computer model.

Alexitimia is also the name that Paula Gaetano, an artist from Buenos Aires, gave to her robot. It’s a big blob that feels like rubber when you touch it. But it also sweats when you caress its surface. Paula Gaetano has a background in fine art but collaborated with scientists and techno experts to develop the robot. The only sensors are for touch and the only output is water that runs from a tank hidden in the base of the work.
