The Drawbox Project is a children-oriented interactive artwork, in which participants collaboratively create an imaginary world composed of drawings. Visitors are invited to draw colorful sketches on paper and then use the Drawbox - a special workstation installed at the exhibition space - to deliver their drawings into a dynamic virtual world. Participants witness their drawings come to life, as each shape receives real-world physical properties, propelling in motion and interacting with drawn shapes of other participants.
The Drawbox can be simultaneously installed in multiple venues. In this mode, visitors in remote locations collaboratively create a single, shared virtual world. Producing drawings which relate to particular objects in the shared world, participants in remote places correspond with each other through a spontaneous artistic language. The Drawbox Project seeks to engage visitors in a simple, self- expressive form of creation and interaction. Participants learn about drawing, design and illustration, exploring a form of playful transition between the physical and digital worlds.
