I recently participated in 7 in 7, a scheme cooked up by the ITP resident researchers to do seven creative projects in seven days. The project inspired the currently running and oh so more manageable 5 in 5. The rules are:
Projects must be completed in a day.
Each project needs a name and documentation [...]

Flight404’s recent exquisite work with additive blending and particles led me to return to an old project of mine. Of course, these days, revisiting a project translates to “add more LCD screens.”
We’ve successfully added support for passing larger amount of data across clients in the multi-screen framework and this has led to [...]

Wherein we pick a name we like (Tech Trek: Inside ITP) and catch ITP researcher and teacher Dan Shiffman working on 6, 32-inch TVs. His project is was just up and running when we talked to him. It’s an open source Java framework for spanning real-time graphics [...]

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. [...]

It’s been a while since I published a new work. But there’s nothing like a deadline. A year ago, I installed three of my works at the Jepson Center for the Arts in Savannah, GA. Since the installation was set to run for three years, it seemed like a nice, altogether reasonable [...]

I’ve updated the Processing moviemaker library. Implemented more codecs and I think I fixed the Intel Mac bugs (but no way to tell since I don’t have one.) Hopefully nothing else broke in the process. Anyone reading this on an intel mac or windows machine, please test and let me know, thanks! [...]

A first pass at my Neural Networks in processing tutorial is ready for public consumption. So, before you go and consume a turkey, consume this link. And let me know if it makes any sense at all. . .? The examples are still trivial — Linear classification, Solving XOR [...]

Is it a penguin? A tooth? A surfer from the future? Whatever it is, this announcement sure does make me happy. Read more about it at Create Digital Motion, one of my new favorite blogs!

So after a fierce battle with my own neurons, I am ready to release part II of my Processing series: “Neural Network! Huah! What is it good for? (Sing it again, now.)”
This example implements a multi-layered neural network that learns via “back propogation.” It’s specifically trained to solve XOR. [...]
