Description

“Dot 2 Dot” is an homage to the pioneers of “Light Drawing”.

It utilizes the sensors of a smart phone to capture, share and present a 3d motion in space, breaking the physical barrier of the 2d canvas.

Picasso’s “Light Drawings” (1949) is series of long exposure photographs. These experiments of light and motion were part of a collaborative work between Picasso and Gjon Mili, a photographer and light innovator. Picasso's “air drawing” formed any new quality to his line – the recording of his motion in space.

This remarkable experiment produced images that reshape the traditional 2d drawing into a 3d thread sculpture. They are for some extend an analog form of GIF animations as the hold a sequence of moments in each photo.

This photography technique served as a view finder to unveil an invisible layer of reality.

The Technology:

“Speech of light serves as a messaging platform were 3d sketches replace text, video or image. A user presses a button and records the motion of his phone by using accelerometer and Gyro data. He then sends the 3d position data to a server
