Translations 2.2013

Translations 2.2013 is a digital device for the presentation of drawings, based on the interpretation and translation of others' drawings data. On this work it is proposed the experience of the perception of the duration of the act of drawing, as well as of other representations for its data, as a way to place the observer on the position of interpreter and creator of a mental copy of the drawing. The drawings being displayed have been previously produced using another device's module, constituted by a digital drawing machine and a person to make the drawing, that will record, on a text file, the data corresponding to every pixel's position and its quantity. Translations 2.2013 is a device that interprets and transforms these data in a copy drawing of its original and in graphs of the relation of each pixel's position and the duration of the drawing process. This drawing presentation has the duration of one day, happening pixel-by-pixel, in order to accentuate the act of drawing as a performative act inscribed in a duration. By turning the revelation of the drawing in an extremely slow process it becomes relevant the observer's perception as a subjective and creative action.
