Abstract

We present the collaboration art platform ”Ten Seconds Art”. With this platform art interested people can participate in an art creation process. Up to four people can simultaneously create a piece of action painting art in real time by using an android smartphone app. The platform records accelerator values which are transformed to joint movements of a manipulator arm. This arm splashes color to a canvas and thus produces a picture similar to action-paintings. Users can view this process via webcam stream in real-time. With this work we want to discuss questions of amateur, distributed, everywhere, and bite-size creativity from the point of view of telerobotics.
