This experiment aims to bridge the gap between physical and digital spaces by translating human body movements into a digital format using Grasshopper/Rhino scripting and a kinetic camera. By capturing and analyzing these movements, the study seeks to explore how physical gestures can be quantified and interpreted within a computational framework.
The experiment involves capturing participants body movements in real-time using a kinetic camera. These movements are then translated into numerical data, vectors, and curves through scripting in Grasshopper/Rhino. The primary objective is to analyze the digitized movements in response to various cultural quotes, examining how physical expressions can be quantified and understood through computational methods. This interdisciplinary approach not only enhances our understanding of the interplay between technology and human motion but also provides insights into the cultural context of body language.
As a result, we successfully transformed verbal movement into a tangible prototype. This prototype serves as a concrete representation of the interplay between language and motion, demonstrating how digital tools can bridge the gap between intangible verbal expressions and tangible physical artefacts. This achievement underscores the potential of using computational methods to explore and materialise the dynamic relationship between cultural expressions and bodily movements.
