我们的身体是情感表达的容器。我们本能地通过动作来表达自己。《身体绘画》探索了我们进行非言语表达交流的能力,并将其与我们创造的欲望相结合;更何况,我们对创造美的渴望。
《身体绘画》是一种视觉工具,它使您能够用身体在虚拟画布上进行绘画,将动作和手势诠释为不断变化的构图。它并不是一个真正的绘画应用程序,而是通过捕捉身体的动作和能量来探索创造和表演图像和颜色的表达方式。这件作品与交互体验有关。重要的不是最终创造出的图像,而是创造它的感觉,与它的互动,以及对自己的作品的反应。类似于音乐,演奏乐器的动机并不总是为了作曲或录音。有时每个音符只是为了此刻,它是来自内心无意识的回应,不关心是否使之永久。同样,在《身体绘画》中,当您停止动作时,图像会慢慢褪色,只留下您体验的记忆。
交互很简单,动作创造绘画。该装置设计用于与任意数量的人一起使用,并可扩展覆盖从4m到50m宽的区域,甚至更大。(实际上,该装置根本不会“看到”人,只看到动作。因此,只要空间中的任何东西-无论是有生命的还是无生命的-只要移动,都可以触发颜色)。虽然该装置适合单人使用,但当多人在场时,观众开始通过作品相互交互,出现了一种新的动态。
该作品已在国际上展示,包括2009年作为维多利亚和艾伯特博物馆巡回Decode展览的一部分,并且是世界各地多个公共收藏的一部分。

Our body is a vessel for emotional expression. We have a natural instinct to express ourselves through movement. Body Paint explores our ability for non-verbal expressive communication, and combines it with our desire to create; even more so, our desire to create something beautiful.
Body paint is a visual instrument that enables you to paint on a virtual canvas with your body, interpreting movement and gestures into evolving compositions. It is not a painting application per se, and instead explores expressive ways of creating and performing images and color through capturing the motion and energy of the body. The piece is about the interaction experience. What matters is not the image created at the end, but the sensation of creating it, interacting with it, reacting to your creation as it evolves. Analogous to music, the motivation for playing an instrument is not always to compose or record. Sometimes every note is just for the moment, an unconscious response coming from within, without any concern for making it permanent. Similarly in Body Paint, when you stop moving, the image slowly fades away, leaving only the memory of your experience.
The interaction is simple, movement creates paint. The installation is designed to work with any number of people and is scalable to cover areas from 4m to 50m wide, potentially more. (In fact the installation doesn’t see ‘people’ at all, only movement. So anything – living or not – of any shape can trigger colours, as long as it moves in the space). While the installation is suitable for a single person, when multiple people are present, a new dynamic emerges as the audience start interacting with each other via the work.
The work has been shown internationally including as part of the Victoria & Albert Museum’s touring Decode exhibition in 2009, and is part of a number of public collections around the world.
