Group 5 - Banana Prints

Traces of Time
the following text is a first version of our presentation for the final exhibition

Banana Prints?

Before your eyes, you see an unfinished painting taking its shape by your motions. What you see, is an interactive canvas, with you as the artist.

But the painting is more than just a random pattern, drawn by moving people. It is the scars created by our actions, leaving traces in the once flawless facade. Like footprints in a soft blanket of snow, the steps is a map over the past. By reading the scars of an individual, you can sense the experience of his life.

If you look above your head, you will see a camera capturing a large part of the room. The information is sent as a live stream to our computer, which plot the difference between following pictures onto our canvas. - TEXT ABOUT COLOR SHIFTING THAT IS NOT COMPLETED -


We are currently brainstorming about a new name for our project. We came up with “Banana Prints”, “Just a Simple Banana” and “The Life and Death of a Banana”. Any feedback and suggestions about the name is welcome.

Bananarama maybe?

the possibility to change the color over time is very powerful in fact.
You could also work with transparency so that you can see the over-use of the spaces. Very interesting. Look forward to see it.
