MIMIKA is anInteractive Experience, developed in collaboration with EPSON and PRASE Media Technologies, that investigates the threshold between body and code. The system captures hand movements and translates them in real time into dynamic visual forms—abstract or geometric—constantly evolving through a parametric generative algorithm.

The project was created usingTouchDesignerpaired with a high-definition webcam configured for precise motion recognition. This hardware and software setup enables reliable hand tracking, allowing users to “paint” across the projection surface through gesture-based interaction.

The interaction unfolds on two layers: in addition to free creation of digital flows, the system recognizes specific predefined gestures. These act as commands for an invisible interface, allowing the user to switch between three generative patterns and modify the aesthetics and behaviour of the visuals in real time.
