We would like to present our Painting Robot, P-air (Painting Audience Instructed Robot). This robot will be live on Twitch and controlled by the audience. You can control the robot by clicking the UI on the stream or type in commands like Up, Right, or Hard to move the robot. Over a few days we will make a painting created by dozens of people around the world. This will run several hours a day over the course of the conference. We will monitor the robot stream all day to answer questions via chat.
Background and process about the project here: Twitch Paints YouTube Video
Type: other activation (Twitch Paints)
Length*: 4 hrs per day
Date: Sept. 08-12 | 1PM CST - 5PM CST
Duration: 4 hrs per day
Language: Mods and instructions are in English, but usable by all!
Objective
1: Outcome: We will create an intimate environment where people can enjoy collaborating on a painting.
Participant Takeaway: Exploring alternative ways to succeed online, thinking outside of large viewership or financial goals.
Participant Takeaway: Expand the idea of online streaming specifically when combined with new media and robotics.
Material and Technical Requirements
Platform: Twitch
Technical considerations: [People need to login to Twitch to participate in the chat, Ads cannot be disabled on Twitch unfortunately]
Additional considerations: [Moderating Bad Actors, Too many commands and the robot may fall behind]
Megan Jedrysiak and Jackson Ammenheuser are a Chicago based animation duo. Since 2014, they have been making experimental shorts and commissioned animations together as AppleButter Animated. Their experimental film and installation work has screened in the United States and internationally. Their creative process is rooted in subconscious play versus conscious editing, thriftiness, and collaboration.
