Review key details about Yuval Gur's career, interactive paintings, conductive paint, oil paint, proximity sensing, music, and technology-driven methods shaping his work.
| Practice | Painting, composition, interactive art, and audio-visual installation |
|---|---|
| Paint-related media | Self-made conductive paint overlaid with oil paint |
| Documented series | Tfila, a series of interactive paintings and an audio-visual installation |
| Interaction | Conductive painted areas detect electrical charge and proximity from a viewer's hand and trigger mapped music |
| Electronics | Arduino Leonardo used to connect different areas of the paintings to music |

See the paint types documented in Gur's work, with links to PaintZeal references explaining each medium's properties, uses, and working characteristics.
Conductive paint is a functional coating made by dispersing electrically conductive pigments into a resin binder. Depending on the formulation, conductive paints can be used for EMI/RFI shielding, grounding, ESD control, circuit work, and other applications that need an electrically conductive painted surface.
Oil paint is a slow-drying paint made with pigment and a drying oil binder. It is widely used for artwork because it blends smoothly and develops rich color.
See the surface types documented in Gur's work, with links to PaintZeal references explaining how each support behaves and is prepared for painting.
Canvas is a woven fabric used as a flexible support for painting. Artist canvas is commonly made from cotton or linen and sold either raw or coated with a ground layer.
