Blind Self Portrait

Blind Self Portrait uses computer vision algorithms to build a contour drawing of the visitor, and a moving platform guides their hand to execute the drawing while their eyes are closed. The experience of machine-guided movement is surprisingly uncanny, and when the drawing is complete it's unclear who should be signing the work.

Exhibited at the NYC Resistor Interactive Show and the Slap Dash series at Launchpad in Brooklyn.
