Mehmet Atken's Body Paint was on exhibition at the V&A. With a black screen in front of you, the piece allowed you to paint a virtual canvas. Atken achieved this using software which translated gestures of the body and dance into an evolving compostition. Simply put, movement creates paint, and your body is the brush.

As seen in the video, Body Paint can be experienced by several people at once, transforming their interactions into an art piece, producing an evolving visual image of their communication.
