Shié Kasai P2P, a network painting demo
© S. Kasai, 2009
As part of Les journées de la culture
It’s a party at 4001 Berri! Japanese-born artist Shie Kasai invites visitors to test out her live, peer-2-peer painting in process at OBORO. P2P / Peer to Painting (A Simulation) is a device permitting simultaneous reproduction in different locations of identical paintings. In order to do this, the artist draws from network architecture and invites three painters to set themselves up at workstations, giving the impression that each artist is in a different part of the world. Equipped with art supplies, monitors and a camera, the painters look at a live video feed of Shié Kasai painting an image that they simultaneously reproduce.
*From 10 years old
