By Gerardo, Peter, and Olivia Abstract Our project aim was to transform Genevieve’s artwork into rasterized graphics to etch acrylic sheets and combine them into layered sculptural images. Instead of trying to incorporate the robotic arm in order to increase scale it was more important to Genevieve that we capture her method of layering paint

by Gerardo, Olivia, and Peter After further consideration between our group and our artist we have changed trajectory towards transforming Genevieve’s art into a 3D layered image made of layers of transparent acrylic. After our initial proposal we spoke more with Genevieve, Garth, and Josh and realized we had been focusing on the wrong things.

by Gerardo, Olivia, and Peter We’re interested in utilizing the motion capture technology in the dFab Lab to explore the expressive nature of Genevieve’s drawing skills and to, ultimately, use the motion capture data to scale up her artwork. Genevieve prefers to work on a smaller scale. The end result is a process that generates

Peter Kelly, Abel Tesfaye, ES For this exercise we chose to capture the motion of a pair of pliers being rotated by hand. This motion could be used to bend wire or other similar materials. While arranging the sensors on top of the pliers we had to give special consideration to the fact that they would
