Project

For Nowhere/Now/Here, David Bowen produced a multinational “remote infrared drawing device”. For this piece a drawing arm and infrared sensor array will be installed at LABoral and a drawing arm and sensor array will be installed in a public space near Bowen’s studio in Minnesota. Each drawing arm will produce gestures based on a participant’s interaction with the sensor arrays. The information gathered by the sensors will be sent via the Internet to the drawing arm in the opposite location. Therefore the arm in Spain will produce drawings based on the inputs it receives from the sensor array in Minnesota and vise-versa. The public will be encouraged to participate on both ends producing drawings halfway around the world based on their gestures..
