Pier 62 is a series of explorations that translates the physical to digital. A documentation of skaters in New York Pier 62 is translated using Processing open source programming language and IDE in order to further explore the use of programming in the creation of a new media art project
Depending on the acceleration and speed of the skater and therefor speed of the movement in the video file, an code translates movement in x and y using black strokes of interconnected points, abstracting the assembled data.
Below is a photo-montage of the overlay of each skaters movement during an afternoon in the pier.
