Sketchy recognition/2020

2020 Installation

For the online installation of Sketchy Reconition, we plan a multiform online publication that (1) documents the experiences of the pianofabriek installation, (2) provides addition context in the form of text, software probes, and video, and (3) provides a means for participation through a PDF coloring book (drawings can be submitted back), and an online discussion / collective drawing sesstion.

• Coloring book(s) (the PDF of contour forms used in pianofabriek) (TODO: upload)
