  • livecoding the hex(a)ble

    the hex(a)ble Originally uploaded by da mad pixelist This is the kind of blog entry that makes you say “huh?!” What the heck is livecoding? Is it the opposite of what zombies do when they’re hired to write software? What the heck is a hex(a)ble? Why is there strange punctuation in that name? What do…

  • Summer 09 Update

    I’m taking some time off from (public) performances to teach a series of workshops across London as part of Openlab, and possibly the UK (if you count Newcastle and Birmingham as across the UK).  Also, our crew at ML Studio has been working on a few exciting new projects, from laser-projected dancing to games and…

    pixelpusher @ electrovision 20090307 Originally uploaded by da mad pixelist Finally posted the photos that Marcus Lyall took of my set in from Electrovision in March.

    Clear Visuals Originally uploaded by mrglitch I had some fun at Glitchnight. Great music! I really enjoyed playing along to the sometimes dark, always engaging Will, Z-arc, Soundhacker. Just for kicks, I remixed “The Black Hole” and “Barbarella” along with some interesting old French music films from the 60’s. Quite a few people were suprised…

    Resonance Ghent invited a group of livecoders, audio and visual to perform livecoding all day in the delightful little gallery Espace Ladda, next to the Vooruit cutlural center, in the center of town. As a piece of what can almost be described as “productive performance art” we sat in a tight circle of laptops enmeshed…

    Playing with drawing ribbons in Fluxus (part of my mater plan to port all of my live-drawing software to Fluxus). (This code is about 70% taken from Dave Griffith‘s L-Systems drawing code – thanks Dave!)

  • Terradisco pics

    2009-02-22 01.19.44 Originally uploaded by da mad pixelist I took some shots of Terradisco (with my new G-phone… kind of a shitty camera in the dark due to lack of flash and all automatic controls). Most of the photos I took were early on in the evening, before it got packed. It was an interesting…
