"K-457" is an immersive digital kinetic artwork inspired by Nam June Paik's K-456 Robot, blending the human body with technology through advanced computer vision. The piece creates a dynamic, interactive experience, translating real-time body movements into a geometric composition, filled with symbols and sounds.. It visualizes body coordinates as shapes and patterns, forming a surreal, ever-evolving environment that highlights the fluidity of human motion.
This modern reinterpretation of Paik's work incorporates p5.js and ml5.js libraries to push the boundaries of digital art with real-time data processing. "K-457" invites viewers to explore themes of presence, identity, and the influence of technology on human interaction, challenging us to reflect on our evolving relationship with technology and how it shapes our understanding of self and artistic expression.
