I’ve been exploring different scenario’s how to in a controlled way use randomness in the large interactive wall for the museum installation. Randomness and control? Indeed, there is always some kind (and degree) of control when you integrate randomness. I’ve been experimenting with the ‘Assembler’ code from yaief.wordpress.com/2008/12/09/fun-with-flash-assembler/. One possible idea was to use treelike structures as background for each of the 12 elements of the installation: http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=3223086&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1 influencing Flocking behaviour using image maps from Rudi Knoops on Vimeo. This video shows the output of the Flash experiment where an influence map is used to control the flocking behaviour of…

motion tracking in processing
I’m currently building a playful Processing application for the pre-opening of the new Media & Design Academy building at C-Mine. The pre-opening is scheduled for the weekend of april 25-26 2009. So I have quite some time left to finetune the draft version I have now. Concept = The mirrored video image of people passing in a specific frame is projected lifesize. When you stand still in the frame, you just have the projection of your mirror image. Movement will reveal an extra layer. Using motion detection, particles of ribbons that follow the movement in the frame are superimposed upon…
