FaceFlip from Max Hawkins on Vimeo.

Nice bit of geekery here. I’ll try and leave Chatroulette alone now. I’m in danger of boring myself. ;)

Codeorgan. Make your site musical

Stick in your URL. Codeorgan analyses the <body> content. Does some clever stuff. Then plays back a musical interpretation of your content.

Give it a go: http://www.codeorgan.com/

My song sounded a bit weird. Bad content I reckon.

The Worlds First AR Magician?

Posted: December 9th, 2009 | Author: admin | Filed under: Creative, Digital, Technology, Visual | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , | View Comments

Magician, visualist, and technologist Marco Tempest shows off his work on “Magic Projection.”

YouTube link.

It’s interesting to see how a magician blends technology into his performance.

Early days yet, but I can’t wait to see how this develops.

Made / created with OpenFrameworks, OpenCV, Arduino, MacCam, PS3 Eyetoy camera, Wii engineering, IR tracking, MacBook Pro and a mobile projector.

Just a few bits then.

Toxiclibs. An Immense Computational Design Showreel

Posted: September 27th, 2009 | Author: admin | Filed under: Design, Digital, Technology, Visual | Tags: , , , , , , , , | View Comments

Showreel of projects & experiments created by current users of the toxiclibs library.

Cool music too.


toxiclibs showreel from postspectacular on Vimeo.

toxiclibs is an independent, open source library collection for computational design tasks with Java & Processing.

After 2.5 years of continuous development & refactoring, the collection consists of >14k lines of code, 124+ classes, 18 packages bundled into 7 libraries.

The classes are purposefully kept fairly generic in order to maximize re-use in different contexts ranging from generative visuals, data visualization to digital fabrication, use as teaching tool and more.

Code Is Cool. A Linux interface for Spotify

Posted: July 22nd, 2009 | Author: admin | Filed under: Music, Technology | Tags: , , , , | View Comments

I like this. It takes me back to my days of messing around with DR-DOS and MS-DOS.

These guys are in a different league though.

What you’re actually seeing is despotify, an open source Spotify client and gateway to their service.

The client features a text based user interface as a proof of concept of the underlying code.

Rock on.

iPhone RFID: object-based media from timo on Vimeo.

Last bit of nerd shenanigans for today…

This is a prototype of an iPhone media player that uses RFID embedded in physical objects to control media playback.

Another interesting idea to put in your back pocket and bust out later.


Webcam Face Tracking + 3D Flash Scene

Posted: April 20th, 2009 | Author: admin | Filed under: Creative, Technology, Visual | Tags: , , , , | View Comments


The video doesn’t really do this justice.

There’s a mouse-driven version – but you don’t really get the wow factor.

If you’ve got a webcam try the full demo for yourself here.

There’s the potential to do some really cool stuff with this.

It’s great to see Google developing some great apps for the Mac. In an effort to show that its employees’ “20 percent time” is benefiting Mac users, Google unveiled its officially unofficial sandbox for Mac developers today.
