July Digest
Posted July 30th 2008 under Computer Vision, Digest, Installations, Processing, Toys, openFrameworks
I am finding less time to blog these days, and my list of things to blog keeps getting bigger and bigger. From now on I will do a Pixelsumo digest at the end of each month, containing projects that didn’t make it into full posts in time.
So to start off, here are projects I wish I had written about recently…
The Image Fulgurator by Julius von Bismarck is a device for physically manipulating photographs. It intervenes when a photo is being taken, without the photographer being able to detect anything. The manipulation is only visible on the photo afterwards.
related project : the sms guerrilla projector
Playing the Building is an installation by David Byrne, on in New York until 24th August, go and see it. (thanks Andy)
Following on from Evoke, Usman Haque has created Primal Source for the Glow festival in California. “making use of a large-scale outdoor waterscreen projection system, Primal Source will appear like a mirage, glowing with colours and ebullient patterns generated by the competing or collaborative voices, music and screams of people nearby”. Coverage and video on Notcot
Golan Levin has created Double-Taker (Snout)… “orients itself towards passers-by, tracking their bodies and suggesting an intelligent awareness of their activities. The goal of this kinetic system is to perform convincing “double-takes” at its visitors, in which the sculpture appears to be continually surprised by the presence of its own viewers — communicating, without words, that there is something uniquely surprising about each of us.”
Jason Bruges Studio have created Applause, an array of computer controlled flags at the Goodwood Festival of Speed for Veuve Clicquot. The flags rotate to point at passing race cars or to watch polo matches. Concept render videos shown on Dezeen, documentation of project on main JBS site.
Karsten Schmidt (aka PostSpectacular) has been super busy with his Processing based works. These include generative book covers for Faber print on demand, a cover for Print magazine using genetic processes & 3d model printing, as well as a fiducial generator for use with Reactivision tracking software.
Snog is a new frozen yogurt shop in London. The branding concept & design by ico design, architecture and lighting design (including a led video display ceiling with moving clouds) by Cinimod Studio.
Theodore Watson, Emily Gobeille and Meredith Dittmar have a new show at the Riviera gallery in New York until 10th August. Well worth a visit.
