Winter Particles
Happy Holidays! It’s been ages since I posted anything, mostly because I’ve been so busy teaching at UCA Farnham and Openlab Workshops. Here’s a little something for the holidays. The code is below, and the source image was courtesy of Jan Tik on Flickr.
Creative Pact Day 4
So, today I didn’t do anything for the creative pact. Marcus and I were doing some filming tests for his Tiny Dancer project, which involves a bunch of live tracing of people’s outlines while dancing. It’s written in OpenFrameworks (well, C++ really) and uses a serious amount of multi-threaded asynchronous queues so that it can [...]
Uzman Haque & Adam Greenfield @ Space
If architecture is a form of conversation between a space and its inhabitants, to paraphrase Usman Haque, then the conversation between Haque and Adam Greenfield at Space Studios in Hackney was practically Victorian in its flourishes and monumental aspirations. Like the massive ribcage of old steel forming the roof of St. Pancras rail station, this two-hour-long conversation enclosed a twisting, arterial jumble of ideas including the politics of data gathering; the psychology of groups; the usefulness of collective action; the organizing principles of cities; the near-extinction of modern architects.

movement bubbles sketch
I was playing around with doing some object tracking and movement recognition when I started playing and came up with a quick sketch that turns detected movement into bubbles. It’s a good starting point for a series of interactive works, I think. I can see adding image textures to the bubbles, as well as making [...]
Interactive Media Class
I’ve been spending most of my waking hours teaching, recently, which is why you haven’t seen any upcoming shows on this site, or much more on the blog. Usually, I like to pull a Clark Kent and keep my day-job and secret pixelist identity separate, but just this one single time I’ll allow my worlds [...]
