Watching Paint Dry

Description

This talk will cover my latest art experiment, Big Wet Pixels: real-time portraiture with simulated watercolor. I’ll talk about the joys and the mindset of procedural art, and how real-time techniques transform work into play. After the talk, I’ll invite audience members up on stage to sit for a portrait. While we chat, the machine will paint, the paint will flow, and I’ll work the controls like a DJ in response to the moment. Happy accidents will ensue. Anything can happen. Bring your face, so you can sit for a portrait!
