ITP Turns 30!

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 IAC’s 120 by 12 foot video wall. Everything you see below was made with Processing and the most pixels ever library.

Thanks to amazing and dedicated group who pulled all of this off (under an incredibly tight and stressful timetable): Xiaoyang Feng, Meredith Hasson, Juri Imamura, Brian Kim, Matt Parker, Jeremy Rotsztain, Tim Szetela, Carolina Vallejo, Elie Zananiri.

The videos are just slices of the original 8160×768 pixel design (as seen in the flickr screenshots). Hopefully I can find some nice images or video from the actual event to post here soon as well.

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.
