LineLife had a wonderful time at the Flux Factory in Long Island City: 39-31 29th St, Queens, NY June 5 - 13 2010! LineLife is a playground for evolving drawings. An interactive installation, LineLife invites the viewer to become an artist by gesturing. Participants wield soft controllers and create virtual and physical drawings. Movements drive drawing robots creating gift-drawings that the participant-artists can keep. Simultaneously, movements are captured by an interactive video environment which displays and stores the gesture as a virtual drawing. As more people interact with the piece a population of drawings accumulates. This population exists in an artificial life environment where drawings evolve, mate and die. Viewers can select two squiggle citizens to procreate and a child squiggle will be born. The child will be a genetic mixture of its parents, inheriting its rhythm, length, curvature, and direction from them. Visitors may also select a virtual drawing from the population of evolved squiggles and have the drawing bots create a physical version on the pad. Virtual city of gestures. Artbots drawings as birth certificates. Evolution towards mathematical elegance and crowdsourced aesthetics.
