Flowstate
2020
FlowState is a real-time collaborative art experience. Participants paint with mesmerizing fluid colors on a shared canvas. Conceived as a social-distancing artwork, FlowState helps participants create together at any distance. FlowState also drives an LED wall for public installation, allowing users to create the art from their mobile devices. While each device sees the same brush strokes, subtle variations in the fluid simulation make every participant's experience different.
