Digital Muscle Control Drawings

creation date: 12.04.1995

A related experiment to the muscle control of the face. The arm and hand muscles are controlled by computer generated electrical impulses, while the hand holds a ballpoint pen on paper. Different algorithms are applied to different sets of muscles, creating different movements of the arm and hand, creating different visual drawings.

Performed live at Art Academy, 's Hertogenbosch, Netherlands. Studium Generale, Change Your Mind.
