Artful Data

April 3, 2009 – 3:45 pm

I’ve considered making a kind of data to sound generator. Rather like Cornelia Solfrank’s Net Art generator, but like a sound art generator. This is a different approach, that I was led to by browsing Max Tundra’s brilliantly crazy website.
Daniel Cummerow has made various MIDI files (musical arrangements) that are generated by tapping into various [...]

Data Sonification

March 7, 2009 – 4:05 pm

I’ve been thinking about Sonification (has a definition on Wikipedia, even if it isn’t a real word) of data for sometime. My first experiment used this blog. A hidden iFrame on the main page opened a page on a web server running off my laptop. These requests were then converted to audio and played out [...]

Textual Twitter T’ing

December 4, 2008 – 1:09 am

I’ve just returned from a trip to London, with mixed fortunes. I didn’t do quite what I wanted, but I’ve come back inspired. Its culminated with my mind being full of art stuff that I want to do – at some point. Twitter is going to be my starting point, as a dataset to work [...]

Osama Loves..

September 22, 2008 – 11:12 am

“Global dialogue” as an American Osama said;
http://osamaloves.channel4.com/
This was made for TV I guess, hence the Channel 4 link. Essentially, muslims called “Osama” are asked to provide a photo or video showing something that they love. I think it’s showing – well it is showing – “500 faces of Islam”. The diversity, the interest, the warmth [...]

My HDR Pics

April 2, 2008 – 3:58 pm

I’ve been researching and experimenting with various ways of taking high dynamic range images, this the result of my research so far. Also serves as an opportunity to test the gallery functionality in this version of Wordpress!
There are plenty of glitches still in the pictures, but I’m making some progress.

Zenphoto

February 25, 2008 – 3:14 pm

Researching stuff for the Interactive Arts Wiki, found Zenphoto. Possibly a good thing for Photobombing…

Infrared Pen for Wii

February 16, 2008 – 3:58 pm

I’ve made my own Infrared Pen for use with a Wii controller; interactive white board a-hoy. Hopefully will use it somehow with Zimmy’s feedback project using Johnny Lee’s interactive white board software. See this post for some cool videos demonstrating it.
For anyone’s reference; I got the infrared LED from Maplin. The part is “High Power [...]

Feedback Things

February 13, 2008 – 7:58 pm

I’ve started working with Zimmy on creating an multi-faceted installation based around audio visual feedback. It stems from Zimmy’s experiments with pointing video cameras at projections of what the video camera is looking at… thus creating a feedback loop.
It is hugely fun, and awe inspiring in a way- I really love things that make you [...]

BlogCrossing; Isnternet; Anti-Blogs; Liberation

December 9, 2007 – 4:56 pm

Since I discovered it was possible, I’ve been yearning to make something out of the Webserver on a Stick project (WOS). Components that make WOS are:

A web server; Apache
A database server; MySQL
A scripting language; PHP

For one, I love all the recursive acronyms. GNU, stands for GNU is not UNIX. Witty! And PHP stands for PHP [...]
