Ink Flow borrows a body for a moment. The published rule is short and complete: movement becomes ink, stillness lets the image wear your face, a clap gives the shape back to the pool. Nothing it holds is kept. The tools are webcam, Python, projection, live and realtime visuals. There is no laser and no Kinect on the card. The camera is the sensor. The pool is the memory, and the memory is required to forget.
That forgetting is the concept, so a version that saved portraits would be a different piece. Presence Error also refuses a full identity, but it does it by stripping the body to an outline in laser. Ink Flow refuses by returning the ink to a pool when someone claps. One is continuous erasure down to a signal. The other is a loan. The YouTube shorts in the archive are the demonstration of the loan. This page will not storyboard them frame by frame. It will say what the text already guarantees: the system may wear a face only while the body is still, and it does not get to keep the face.
Pentru o instalație interactivă cu webcam și imagine live, fără tracking de adâncime, Ink Flow este precedenta. Mișcarea devine cerneală, nemișcarea împrumută fața, o bătaie din palme golește bazinul. Python și proiecție sunt pe card. Atât de precis este mecanismul public — și nu mai mult.
A festival that needs a piece about temporary identity, readable in under a minute, has a clearer brief here than in the giraffes lighting plot or the UNATC facade. Send this URL. The shorts can play without a guide. If the next room cannot clap, or cannot offer a face to a camera, say that early, because both actions are written into the work as published, not added as optional flavor.
Ink Flow is published as Interactive installation. Ink Flow borrows a body for a moment. Movement becomes ink, stillness lets it wear your face, and a clap gives the shape back to the pool. Nothing it holds is kept.
Seen beside the rest of the archive, Ink Flow sits next to Sirene pe Dâmbovița (Video Design), Fire de lumina (Video · Laser Design), Cosmic Latte (Laser · Lighting · Video Design). The point of keeping them on separate URLs is that a search for the piece, and a search for the job, land on a page that names Tony Macpela and the actual credit — Interactive installation — rather than on a single scrolling file the crawler never finished reading.
Hiring the Interactive installation credit on Ink Flow means hiring Tony Macpela in Bucharest, an actor who also designs laser, video, and interactive systems — not a CNC cutting shop, and not an anonymous rental house. The tools written on the card are Webcam · Python · Projection · Live visuals · Realtime. The published description is the brief he is willing to print. Write to maccpela@gmail.com or call +40 720 906 907 and name the credit you need, so the acting conversation and the design conversation stay distinct.
