Assignment 2: “Footprints” by Rob Kotcher & Spencer Barton (2013)

As we traverse our world we leave a trail. These paths
tell a story about from where we came and where we are
headed. As much as these paths are of our own free
will, they are also a product of the intentions of
those around us. With footprints we explore these
individual paths and in turn manipulate them through
subtle actions. Our intentions force the creation of
an all seeing eye which only we as the controllers and
observers are aware of.
Our camera watches from above recording motion with a
tracking algorithm while those below walk unaware. We
record motion by looking at frame differences which
then translates to activity. As a space becomes more
active it goes from blue to red.
