Dancing Brushes

May 13, 2006



This morning I went to a history lecture and beautiful demonstration on Japanese Calligraphy given by a local Master. Afterwards, there was a werkshop where we were able to try our hand at the artform and recieve guidance from the Master as well as from her students. These are some details from my trials that I found to be particularly interesting. Although, I am not so sure that my full compositions where all that successful. [1] [2]

Every 50 from Porch to Defrost

May 09, 2006

In an effort to remind myself to pay better attention to my surroundings I decided that today while walking to a meeting at the Defrost studio I would take a picture every 50 steps. I did this both on the way there and on the way back. The goal was to stop every 50 steps and force myself to capture an image at that point during my walk. Below are the results of my assignment.

Distance: 1.7 Miles round trip
Total Images: 65

When I grow up

April 28, 2006

Spinning yarns about childhood goals

According to the reports from my parents, when I was young I would say that "when I grow up, I want to be either a Doctor or a Garbage Man." Now mind you, I was really young and do not remember actually saying any of this but the response I would give when asked "Why a Doctor or a Garbage Man?" was "Because Doctors make alot of money and have big houses with cool toys but Garbage Men get to ride on the backs of the trucks!" You can see the dilemma here.

20seconds Drawn: AM Porch

April 20, 2006

Same system. Different 20second sound. This one was recorded this AM sitting on my porch before I left the house to get to a meeting.

20seconds Drawn: AM Rain

April 18, 2006

The previous drawing with sound analyzation play still had a few points of small random selection. This series is now completely driven by the data from the analyzation of the sound. Each time it is run on the same sound analyzation it returns the same visual results. This is allowing me to better investigate the visual differences between the sounds I am processing with it.

JSFL: Convert Gs to MCs

April 17, 2006

Sometimes its just easier to make a giant button to do it for you...

I made this a while back for my own play but then it came up in a discussion I was having in class with a student earlier tonight so I figured I'd post it in the event it helps speed up someone else's play. It converts any graphic at the current timeline position to a movie clip.

Its especially handy when I am using the Illustrator to Flash 99% trick learned from Joshua Davis, figured out originally by Erik Natzke. Usually its pretty simple but I was finding as the stuff got more complex, Illustrator was only exporting most of the things as graphics and there where still these extra bits, especially if what I was bringing into Illustrator was something originally drawn with Action Script in Flash.
