This piece is called “Kinetic Lights”. Each LED light module is attached to remote controllable cable winch. Using a computer and a software designed to control the piece the controller can adjust the height and luminosity of the light module creating an amazing site or view for the customers of the cafe below. -Deonte Welton

Moment Factory, created this permanent installation for La Vitrine Culturelle, (The Cultural Window) a ticket booth located in Montréal. The wall is made of 35,000 LED bulbs and a tracking device so people can interact with the wall as they pass by.

I thought this was a nicely done project of a coffee table with LED lights. It is sensors motion and gets brighter as you get closer to the table. A conventional way of making using LED lights and sensors. -Katreena Dyrek

Norman McLaren was a Canadian artist, animator and filmmaker who made this musical visualization “Dots” in 1940 and short film “Neighbors” in 1952.I thought that his visualizations to music were very ahead of the time and reminded me of visualizations made with PD. He made them without using a camera, by directly drawing with pen…

http://www.rolighetsteorin.se/en/ I found an initiative put together and funded by the Volkswagen motor company called The Fun Theory. This initiative most likely derived from a marketing aspect uses new media to convey strong ideas of “forced behavior.” The projects or installations presented by this company pose an interesting question that is rooted in human behavior…

After reading the Augmented Space essay I was interested in looking for examples of the data dimension overlayed over the physical world. I thought this was an interesting installation in Beijing China. Although I couldn’t find very much information about this installation, also the worlds largest LED TV screen, I found it quite fascinating. The…

Augmented Space Response I had many thoughts while reading through this very intriguing essay. Many to which made me think outside the box and think of information as we perceive it and data as its own entity of space in the physical world we live in. It’s no surprise that in the era we live…

I stumbled upon this video, looking for something else actually, but I found it very appropriate for class. It’s a noise box that makes sine, sawtooth and square tone just like the ones we saw in clas last Friday. It can produce different frequencies and pitches of these tones. I think all it’s made of…

Woah! This was soo fun, the things people are able to create in pure data never cease to amaze me. I played on this for quite sometime, and I really enjoyed the sounds that were included already. On the bottom of the readme it says the ‘audioloops’ folder is autoloaded on startup, put any loops…

I thought the patch, a-gig-in-tokyo, was very interesting and produced some really good sounds that blended well together. I think the easy step by step on what buttons do what when pressed was very helpful and easy to learn how it works. I think this really shows how pure data allows you to do anything…

Not sure if we’re supposed to post or not. But, the pd patch we had to download was interesting. I really liked that most of the sounds reminded me of an old 8-bit game or an early CG game from the mid ’90s. It was enormously complex, I doubt that I could ever do that….
