One interactive art piece I admire is Nikolas Diamant’s MoCap Head.
This project sticks out to me because I think it is an example of the perfect mix of fine art + computer science that is appealing to audiences including and beyond the fields of art and of computer science. It is visually very charming and satisfying and is very computationally impressive, but it is not so distant and unappealing to the average person. Additionally, I am drawn to this piece because it is made with programs and languages I am somewhat comfortable with (Blender, blender python). It inspires me to take my interest in 3D rendering a step further by learning bpy.
I think Nik made the project himself with perhaps some help from Golan. I am assuming it was made for a class, so it probably took a week or two to make.
