Collaborative Self Portraits at ITP

Category Members Other People , Posted on:

Created by Rosalie Yu & Alon Chitayat as a part of the Computational Portraits Course at ITP led by James George and Alexander Porter, the project aim was to create a series of self portraits that treat the body as a canvas for 3d drawing.

The duo used 123D Catch to create full body 3D scans with OBJs imported into After Effects using Elements 3D plugin. Thanks to the AE Cameras, they could control the depth of field in post production. They also decided to open up the creative process to collaborators and ask them to paint over our UV texture map. They created a template that was printed out on paper inviting the use of freehand drawing would contribute to the quality of the final portrait. Finally the new textures were mapped to the imported models. For more information on the process and more user submissions, see link below.

3D Printing Freeform and Vector Based Objects

The process allows the creation of freeform objects without the need for molds or supporting structures. Likewise, tool can be changed, manual and multi-material injections performed, live modification and the ability to physically “undo” the print.

Appropriating Interaction Technologies (“Social Hacking”) at ITP

AIT (“Social Hacking”), taught for the first time this semester by Lauren McCarthy and Kyle McDonald at NYU’s ITP, explored the structures and systems of social interactions, identity, and self representation as mediated by technology.

Deltu by Alexia Léchot – iPad as a ‘mirror interface’ between humans and robots

Created by Alexia Léchot at ECAL, Deltu is a delta robot with a personality that interacts with humans using two iPads. Created using arm technology normally found in 3d printers, Deltu uses three different applications on the iPad Alexia built for it, using symmetry as an interpretation, a mirror and a reflexion of our own image.

Irregular Polyhedron Study #1 – Vertex, edge and volume

Created by Oslo based computational design studio Void, Irregular Polyhedron Study #1 is a physical representation of the basic components of computer graphics; the vertex and the edge and explores the perceptual gap between the flat and the spacious, the analogue and the digital.
