Finger painting has just become a serious art form thanks to American artist and researcher Evan Roth, who has created a series of images that map the movement of routine tasks performed on an ipod touch entitled ‘multi-touch finger paintings’. He has taken the prints we hate, the terrible screen smudges and the interfacing motions we orchestrate, to create simplistic yet intrinsic pieces of art. The activities include checking twitter to reading the front page of the new york times online. To create these amazing paintings, Roth utilizes tracing paper and an ink pad – black for the right hand, red for the left – to delineate the altogether modern practice. By combining notions of new technology with the elementary method of finger painting, the resulting project explores everyday behaviour in a conscious and creative manner.
