Facsimile of Sol LeWitt's wall drawings
Interactive art installation
For a school project where I had to design an interpretive facsimile for Sol LeWitt’s wall drawings, I created two responses: an interactive installation and a wall drawing using masking tapes.
The interactive wall was inspired by one of LeWitt’s drawing instructions to connect all architectural points with straight lines. A camera detects stickers placed on the wall, and the program draws lines and shapes by connecting these stickers as endpoints. The generated shapes are then filled with a color theme chosen by users at the beginning of their experience.

The second part is a tribute to the drafters who give life to Sol LeWitt’s instructions. The fact that they are nowhere in the finished works made me think of a facsimile that features the craftsmanship part of the work and shows their role in the final work.
In order to do that, I recreated one of his works from the “Forms Derived From A Cube” series by using masking tapes which have been always used by the drafters as supporting materials in the process of drawing.
