INITIAL CONCEPT
We have two scanning methodes that provides us with data.
1. Words (describing an 2D/3D object by using natural language) 2. Gestures (making use of the automatic gestures during a conversation)

We want to use the tactic of describing an object as our scanning method. By using the words that you use to describe an object, and match those agains a database of words that represent different shapes, we can recreate a new/copy of the "old" object. Each person will has a different view and everybody things that the essensual part of the object can be something ells. The words they ultimatly choose - will define the new abstract object.
The other tactic we like to combine is making use of gestures by using a Kinect sensor. The Kinect will detect our natural hand-gestures while we are describing the object. This will translate in the randomness of the painting. Where to put the new shapes. The gestures give guides to the new object.

The possibility that everybody can describe their own essences of an object, makes the new object far more concentrated. It's a combination of shapes that soly describes the essenence of the object from the viewers perspective.
