Painting with Light at Diwali

This year I created a new - much enhanced - version of my Painting with Light software for show at Leicester's Diwali celebrations in Cossington Park. The installation was organised by Inspirate, who had arranged for a giant inflatable projection screen and high power video projector to be used with the software.

It looked great and many hundreds of members of the public got to play with and make giant drawings that appeared on the screen as they waved "digital sparkers" (LED torches with diffusers on them) in front of a video camera, which in turn allowed a computer to track their movements and generate the brush strokes.

You can see plenty of pictures from the event here on the Interact Digital Arts website. I hope to make a version of the software available for free download before to long.
