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.

In other news, there’s a nice write-up at Gizmodo about the Big Screens show at IAC. I should point out that three of the projects this year used openFrameworks (including “Caves of Wonder” by Matt Parker which was mistakenly attributed to Processing in the article). Six of the projects were indeed developed with Processing and three were pre-rendered videos. Here are some of the vimeo clips from Gizmodo. Hope to post more videos and photos soon. . .

Discovered a few bugs in the most pixels ever library which can hopefully be squashed this week.

I recently had a project featured at the Tyneside Cinema launch in Newcastle. The above video misspells my name, but otherwise documents the work quite nicely. There’s also a nice write-up at Create Digital Motion.

In preparation for the class, I’ve updated the library with new tutorials and downloads.

Next week we’ll be running our first tests of content on the wall. Stay tuned! (Photos below from our first visit to IAC on Sept 12th. They were nice enough to set up the giant lobby space as a classroom, complete with IAC paper and pencils.)
