Painting from the 39th floor of the Canary Wharf Group Building. Trying to respond to the views and produce a body of work for exhibition. The paintings from the first stage of the residency are now installed in the Board room at Level 39. Installed "Air Painting" an application that enables interaction and "painting" with a still or image from live camera capture data. It uses the Xbox Kinect and processing to recognise hand positions. An earlier version of this was featured on the… Show more Painting from the 39th floor of the Canary Wharf Group Building.
