Proposal Presentation for MA Sneak preview

Proposal Presentation MA on Prezi

Installation

Space and colour coded. Figuring out what the ideal gallery space size must be.

Get going

Teetering, tipping, hesitating even.

Planning for new work

An installation about software/code mostly. Some planning notes and installation ideas.

Snippets&quotes no pics

"Mutation is crucial because it names the bifurcation point at the interplay between patterns and ramdomness, causes the system to evolve in a new direction." Hayles

"The change from flat marks to hierarchical structures opens the possibility of interventions into the encoding/decoding chains." Hayles

"A visualization is therefore distinguished by its algorithmic dependence on its source data and its perceptual independence from it." Wright

"Elegance exists in the precision madness of axioms that cross categories, in software that observes terseness and clarity of design, and in the leaping cracks and shudders that zigzag scales and domains together." Matthew Fuller

Hacksaw presentation

I used, Prezi, a presentation tool which allows non-linear access to your material, to make a presentation for the Hacksaws group show and tell. You can see the presentation online.

processing code ported and mutated to openframeworks. Remove sensors, add video camera, rework imagery.

Terra Obscura v0.2 progress

Progress screenshots for a v0.2 of TerraObscura. The previous version used processing and UltraSound sensors. This version uses openframeworks, opencv and webcam motion detection.
Leftmost frame shows visuals with no motion. Righthand frame shows what it looks like if motion is detected.

june figure drawing

compressed charcoal on recycled paper, short poses

first sketch for 2009

First exploration of the visuals I want to look at. Find the java applet to play. Try moving the mouse, left clicking and right clicking. Tested on firefox and chrome.

The parameters such as alpha, hue, saturation and movement can be controlled over the network.

The visual starting point is the Ishihara colour blindness test.

The visuals can also be any still or moving image used as a simple mask.

Final multimedia exam work: The installation consisted of a pc running Linux producing visuals using processing. Five ultra sound sensors connected to the pc provided interactive feed back about viewer posisiton in front of the projection. Also connected to the visuals pc was another pc playing sounds. Certain sounds were triggered depending on viewer proximity and animation activity. This installation was presented at the UNISA final year student exhibition at the art.b gallery in Belleville.
