Open Processing

Open Processing!

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 out a way to auto-generate thumbnails from uploaded Processing sketches. Seems to be the one missing piece (it’s a pain in the neck to generate those screenshots yourself). Any ideas? Post here in the comments.

ITP Shows

The ITP Show finished up with some nice write-ups on the internets: ny times blog and MAKE.

About a week or so before the ITP show, my Big Screens class had their own show at the IAC Building on their rather large video wall. I’m hoping we set the world record for largest Processing sketch ever. Some photos (video coming soon):

This, as far as I know, was the first public use of the Most Pixels Ever library, which admittedly needs quite a bit of work still.
