Body is the Interface workshop (Zach Lieberman <> tiat)

Join us for an engaging hands-on workshop that delves into the innovative ways your body can become an expressive tool for creative computation! Through the use of p5.js and machine learning techniques like pose estimation, participants will connect their movement and gestures to dynamic visual outputs.

🌟 This workshop emphasizes the exciting intersection of typography and the body, allowing attendees to create systems where physical motion shapes, distorts, or animates text. You will also explore interaction techniques such as gesture recognition and body-based input to design playful, poetic, and embodied interfaces.

✨ No prior experience with machine learning is required — just bring your curiosity and willingness to move!
