This is one of the most inspiring videos I’ve seen in a while. In a span of a day I can’t count how many things I take for granted in the process of getting a project done. Sometimes it’s necessary to get knocked on your ass by an artist who defines the true spirit of creativity, by doing so much with so little. Thanks Tempt One, I needed that!
“Art is a tool of empowerment and social change, and I consider myself blessed to be able to create and use my work to promote health reform, bring awareness about ALS and help others.”
– Tony Quan, aka Tempt One
More About The Eyewriter:
Members of Free Art and Technology (FAT), OpenFrameworks, the Graffiti Research Lab, and The Ebeling Group communities have teamed-up with a legendary LA graffiti writer, publisher and activist, named Tony Quan, aka TEMPTONE. Tony was diagnosed with ALS in 2003, a disease which has left him almost completely physically paralyzed… except for his eyes. This international team is working together to create a low-cost, open source eye-tracking system that will allow ALS patients to draw using just their eyes. The long-term goal is to create a professional/social network of software developers, hardware hackers, urban projection artists and ALS patients from around the world who are using local materials and open source research to creatively connect and make eye art.
