Savannah 2008

I just returned from a trip to Savannah, GA to for technology and art week. Mary Flanagan gave a great talk on the nature of video games as an expressive medium and Andrew Schneider demoed his wacky and incredible Experimental Devices for Performance.

I installed a version of my new “Voronoi” project at the Jepson Center for the Arts and gave two workshops at local community centers about programming art with Processing. In the above video, the software continuously computes a Voronoi diagram colored according to pixels seen by a video camera. The tiles reshape themselves and move into place as the camera imagery changes.

Thanks to Harry Delorme and the Telfair Museum for organizing so many great events!

Another trip to Savannah.

Installing "Garden" @ Jepson Center

I’m just finishing up another trip to Savannah, GA. It’s Art & Technology Week here at the Telfair Museum. I participated in two programs, a workshop at the Moses Jackson Community Center and a demo for high school students at the Jepson Center. Haeyoung Kim (who performs under the name bubblyfish) also spoke. I really enjoyed learning about 8-bit music and am interesting in playing around with nanoloop. I hope to catch some of her performances in New York!

I also installed my new work, Garden. Oh geez, I just used Youtube again.
