Interactive installation generating art from your gestures, painting Turing (reaction-diffusion) patterns projected on a wall.
Inspired by the concept of a soliton — a wave that maintains its shape and travels without changing form or dissipating.
While the outputs of Soliton are beautiful and organic, the coolest thing about it is the joy of creation and interaction.
The process is a collaboration between the user, the artist, and the machine. And all is dictated by an algorithm that Nature itself is widely using.
Under the hood, SOLITON is p5js sketch running on Raspberry Pi 5.
Hand motion control achieved with a pose estimation algo running on a Hailo AI hat for rpi5. Input from a Camera Module 3 NoIR (visibility in low/no light conditions).
