I've always been fascinated by what happens in-between frames in a video. Let me explain. When a computer renders effects, say, in adding a transition between two different frames in a sequence, what...
I just got back from the Future Places festival in Porto, Portugal, looking at the intersection between digital media and local culture. The feedback of our exhibit was great and a good place to present amongst some of the most talented artists using digital media in Europe today. The project Sounds Like Graffiti that we worked on for a few months with combined audio plays, rap music, theatre, drama, video, digital storytelling and mobile technology to come up with a new innovative way of doing location-based art...
So how do you play a building? As a part of the Future Places festival "Neighbourhood Science" workshops we went around a deserted shopping mall / art space and played ... the building. As I did not have my instruments with me, I made a video that we will show when we play the piece live tonight.

“Mirror, Mirror, On The Wall…” I have been wanting to play with Processing canvases that reflect one’s social state on the web, and I finally got around to it. Above is a screen grab of my Processing canvas - the logic is simple - Dip into the twitter streaming api, if there is any occurrence of my twitter identity, then reveal more. The revelation of the image (my own) is done through a simple algorithm - start from a single origin, and fork out slowly based on rate of twitter references. The canvas, therefore...
