Yesterday I made a post about tracking viewer’s eye movements on a painting. Today I have the reverse: Graham Fink stairs at a blank screen, and the eye tracking software draws the picture as he moves his eyes.
Painting above: Xue Wang, Uninvited Guest I can’t believe some of the shit my brain says. I wouldn’t let anyone talk to me the way I talk to myself when I try to paint. I pretend the voice is coming from a person who is standing in the room. I can’t help but laugh …
