Shaken“, a generative still image piece for OpenProcessing / Rhizome’s TinySketch competition.

Inspired by my time studying the “Indigenous Framework” of knowledge in my PDP module. I didn’t like the static diagram used to represent it so I tried to make something a bit more alive.

Taken on a short hiking trail off of the old #1 highway in B.C. with my Canon Powershot A720IS. Camera was set to black and white, f/5.60, 1/40 sec, no post-processing.

You Felt Fine

You Felt Fine – a work in photography, Flash, and stickers. Full artist’s statement here.

Presidential Pong

Presidential Pong – contract coding work done for this project on behalf of Persuasive Games. This Flash game was published on CNN’s website as part of their 2008 election coverage.

This piece attempts to give more expressiveness to a gesture by varying the lines drawn based on the speed of movement, as well as drawing in a geometrical pattern about the cursor which also creates a natural time-dependent variation.

The applet is available here.

Note: The above drawings are monochromatic; the current version of the applet will change hues if you rightclick. I’m not 100% satisfied just yet with combining purely random hues in the same drawing. Future experiments might attempt encoding intelligent color scheme relations (complementary, triads, or something).

Experimenting this time with a combination of immediate, predictable response and more uncontrolled and unusual systematic aftereffects.

The prototype itself is here:

The post-mortem writeup on why I’ve dropped development of it is at my game design notes blog. (Which I started before I rolled wordpress over to thoughtlost … yeah, it’s ridiculous, and maybe someday I’ll keep my personal blogging to a single site.)
