It seems like every day I hear about another Processing book being published (or soon to be published). Joshua Noble’s recent book includes Processing along with openFrameworks and Arduino: Programming Interactivity: A Designer’s Guide to Processing, Arduino, and Openframeworks. Processing for Visual Artists is another new book I know little about, but [...]

ITP recently celebrated its 30th anniversary with a weekend of events and activities compressing the entire ITP experience into 3 days. Saturday culminated with a gala event at IAC, celebrating the launch of the Red Burns Scholarship Fund. I worked with a group of ITP students and staff to develop content displayed on [...]

I recently had two projects (Swarm and Voronoi in a show at the Peninsula School of Art, entitled “Flickers of Recognition.”

Recording our everyday lives has gone from the privacy and simplicity of writing in a diary to real-time, digital exposure on the [...]

Ok, so I may very well be one of the slowest writers ever, but I am pleased to finally announce that I have completed a draft chapter for what I hope will become my next book: The Nature of Code. Based on my experience getting Learning Processing out into the world I’ve decided to [...]

I’ve finally posted something I’ve been meaning to do for quite a while, a quick PHP tutorial for Processing programmers. This probably should have been a chapter in Learning Processing, but hey, if it had made it in, then I wouldn’t be able to just put it online for free.

There’s an example [...]

Just a quick note to let you know that my book, Learning Processing, is now available for purchase. If you are local to NYC, you can buy the book at the NYU bookstore.
Amazon says “out of stock”, but I’m told by the publisher that this is an error and they do, in fact, [...]

First, I’m pleased to announce that my students’ work from last year’s Big Screens class is featured in the Processing exhibition.

In honor of this achievement as well as this coming fall’s repeat extravaganza, the “Most Pixels Ever” library is moving! I’m slowly getting rid of the old site and shifting over to google [...]

I’ve decided to try to get this blog going again. I’ve been very busy with my most fun interactive project of all time, but with a month to go before the ITP semester begins, I’m getting back to several projects.
So here come a string of posts. . . hopefully it won’t be another four [...]

Just wanted to give a quick plug to ITP student Sinan Ascioglu’s new site: www.openprocessing.org — a community “flickr-like” site for Processing sketches. It’s terrific work and I’m hoping students in my courses will find it helpful for organizing portfolios of their work. I’m hoping to be able to help Sinan by figuring [...]
