Here’s a prototype for a new project. It’s a 40 x 10 ft., three-projector installation running about 2000 videos. Stay tuned for more documentation as the project develops.
UPDATE: Go here to see [...]

I just returned from Siggraph 2007 a few days ago. It was a mixed collection of interesting technologies and ideas. As one would expect, the primary focus of the conference was computer graphics and related technologies, but I was primarily interested in the artistic exhibits and emerging display and interface technologies on display.

Day three at Flashbelt was quite enjoyable.
André Michelle showed off some of his AS3 audio projects including 5plice, an online audio editing, remixing and sequencing and sharing suite written in AS3 for Flashplayer 9. I was impressed by the small footprint, responsiveness and sound quality produced by the libraries, but was less interested in [...]

Mario Klingemann: Mario presented an interesting piece of software designed to generatively create unique images by examining and responding [...]

I’m at Flashbelt this week. Some interesting talks so far. Of particular interest to me on the first day:

My energy is currently going toward this class blog. I am co-teaching this class with Stephen Eakin.

I am currently reading Bruce Sterling's Shaping Things.  On pg. 23 he talks a bit about how metrics should make the inner workings of technologies more apparent to this user.  He says "There are many ways to make these metrics impinge on my behavior — by making things cost more or less, of course, but [...]
