Implicit collaboration with a drawing machine through dance movements

Itay Grinberg, Alexandra Bremers, Louisa Pancoast, Wendy Ju

In this demonstration, we exhibit the initial results of an ongoing body of exploratory work, investigating the potential for creative machines to communicate and collaborate with people through movement as a form of implicit interaction. The paper describes a Wizard-of-Oz demo, where a hidden wizard controls an AxiDraw drawing robot while a participant collaborates with it to draw a custom postcard. This demonstration aims to gather perspectives from the computational fabrication community regarding how practitioners of fabrication with machines experience interacting with a mixed-initiative collaborative machine.
