TenSeconds - A Collaboration Platform for Distributed Action Painting

  • Conference paper
Arts and Technology (ArtsIT 2011)

Abstract

We present the collaboration art platform ”Ten Seconds Art”. With this platform art interested people can participate in an art creation process. Up to four people can simultaneously create a piece of action painting art in real time by using an android smartphone app. The platform records accelerator values which are transformed to joint movements of a manipulator arm. This arm splashes color to a canvas and thus produces a picture similar to action-paintings. Users can view this process via webcam stream in real-time. With this work we want to discuss questions of amateur, distributed, everywhere, and bite-size creativity from the point of view of telerobotics.
