Processing Gesture (PG-9) is a site-specific interactive installation comprising of nine microcontrollers, tripods, sensors, motors, video cameras, pencils, coat hangars, sheets of drawing paper, a computer and projector.
PG-9 uses custom sensors to capture conscious/unconscious human gesture as input to generate artificially intelligent drawings on paper. The positions of the inhabitants within the space determine whether each drawing machine's arm is more or less active. Drawings are captured via nine small video cameras mounted to each pod as real-time toggling video projected on the wall. Each drawing is complete at the end of each exhibition. Depicted on the wall projection are each pod's actively drawing pencil toggling one to the next around the circle of pods.
The PG-9 interface serves as a layered interactive experience of encoding gesture in such a way that transforms the way the inhabitants see one another within the space.
