Multi-touch Finger Paintings by Evan Roth
American artist and researcher Evan Roth, whose work focuses on tools of empowerment and popular culture, has created a series of images that map the movement of routine tasks performed on Apple products such as the iPod Touch, the iPhone and the iPad. Some of the activities he included were things such as checking your e-mails, unlocking your phone, and reading the front page on the New York Times website. Mr. Roth made use of tracing paper and an ink pad to create this incredible installation. The black ink represents the movement of the right hand and the red ink represents the movement of the left.
By combining notions of new technology with the elementary method of finger painting, the resulting project explores and delineates these everyday behaviours in an effective and creative manner with which I think we can both relate to, and enjoy.
