Text Rain

I chose Camille Utterback for this weeks looking outwards. She’s an american artist and mostly works in instilation and interactive art using computational and generative methods. She’s very interested in how the human body moves and gestures and how that motion can be translated into digital images. The work I looked at specifically was called text rain, which was an interactive projection of people in the exibit with text falling down onto their body like rain and resting. You can push them around and play with them, and it looked quite fun actually. I thought it was a great exploration of the human aspect of typography and text and how we can connect to something as lifeless as letters.
