In Proximity
done in collaboration with
This live installation/coding piece was created in the p5.js Web Editor with the great help of Baron Christopher Noble. The work is able to capture up to 6 individuals. As each captured person gets closer to each other, the proximity of each individual is expressed through a positioned gradient relative to the closest person.
The piece is intended to emphasize upon the intimacy and proximity created by our bodies within open and closed environments.

The code involved using the ml5 Body Pose models. Creating the filled body shapes for the capture involved creating midpoints between each of the main keypoints used on the body pose. Essentially making polygons with each keypoint available on the default bodypose. These lines created between these key and mid points were then filled using a vertex function.
Proximity and intimacy in motion. Touchingggg on the arms.
