The artist created this flexible display to break away from the “stiffness and coldness” of touch-screen technology. the display is made up of foam and sensors which are sensitive to pressure. there are four different applications built in that allow you to explore and play with different object types. It kind of reminds me off…

An interactive installation using both sound and light, a 2006 piece from Dutch media artist Daan Brinkmann. It reacts to motion, so you don’t have to even touch it; if you watch the video to the end, even a dog rolling around in front of it gets a reaction out of the wall of lights….

I thought this was one of the most interesting displays that I’ve ever seen. It detects motion and transcribes it onto multiple and small LED displays, then uses those coordinates to map out an outline of your body. As you can see in the video, there are many adjustments to change the effect of the…

I’ve been exploring the work of data visualization artists and found some interactive ‘sketches’ by Marcos Weskamp. These are simple but elegant building blocks, and you can spend a lot of time just playing with one 200×200 pixel square. I couldn’t figure out how to embed a java doc so the picture posted here is…

The amount of collected data that is stored caught my attention. It seems that the software records the strokes and then acts them out. Real time with room for multiple enactment of the interaction. I would like o be introduced to a feature like this. The graphics were good, using characters, but i think they…

This is probably one of the coolest things I’ve seen done with PD. It’s stuff like this that make a little more sense as to why PD was created. I knew PD could make use of your web cam but I’m not sure what the kid was wearing on his fingers and how PD picked…

I thought that this clip was really interesting so i decided to blog it. In this video the user moves and the computer turns the physical motion in to drum beats through a drum machine. The video is similar in ways to the dancing with interactive sound video we saw in class. The main difference…

This is a video of a video game hack. It is based off of an old arcade game, and a remote control is used to control the performance. Interaction with the remote control short circuits aspects of the video game. The end result is an altered display of the original game where the visual feed…

LightResponsiveDevice from Brian Degger on Vimeo. Doesn’t look like much, but I like the simple stuff. Gives me hope for my future success, as it were…if I can figure this out, I should be good, right? These lights respond to each other, and create feedback loops. Three colored lights on the “floor” respond to a…

This is a very nice video of audio/video integration. The video was apparently made in Adobe AfterEffects. It looks like it makes heavy use of Lissajous curves being created from various portions of the audio (though I could be way off on this). You can use this sort of method to play around in PD…

I thought this particular piece was pretty cool. I like how the sound audio controls the different images on the screen. I think it portrays a very cool image of using audio in artwork. It relates to our class by using pure data and incorporating sound into the fact.

When I first saw this, I originally thought it was made with some advanced visual software, like Adobe Dreamweaver or Flash. I was amazed when I found out it was made from PD/Gem. The effects are spectacular, and the movement and flow of the piece inspires me to work on more difficult concepts and strategies….
