PD video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFEICuS2lZ8 This is a pretty cool audiovisual video of someone using pd. I like the visual effects of it and the sounds it makes itself. It actually starts off with a very enjoyable rhythm and than kind of just gets crazy from there. But aside from that it’s very visually entertaining. I don’t know what…

Kisai Keisan LED watch

This is an aluminum watch that displays the time (and date) using a series of colored LED lights. The numbers are displayed in four vertical columns that contain the appropriate numbers. If the number is too high (like 7), there will be two numbers in a column the wearer must add together (3+4). There is a clear…

Multitouch responsive interface for computer-based music

Multitouch Prototype 2 from Randy Jones on Vimeo.One of the biggest points of interest for me is interface design, more specifically for synthesizers and computers. The keyboard concept is over 600 years old, so why is it still the main choice for modern synthesizers? This type of alternative interface is a nice move in the…

Electroplankton Experiment #1 with PD Pure Data Software

I thought this experiment was cool, because it uses audio as well as interactive simulation. It uses the pure data software that we use in class and created this video game like picture. I like the fact the pen controls when the sounds are announced and the where the objects move. However, I do think…

Etch-A-Sketch Clock

Found this a while back. i thought it was a cool experiment but a really stupid idea because who has time to wait a full 20 secs for a EAS to draw out the time. I’m unsure whether pure data was used but it was built on Arduino which is a computing platform which can be used…

Ghost iPod

I thought this was particularly interesting because it relates not only what we’ve done in my responsive arts class, but it applies to the unexpected and the results are an amazing effect. My guess is that they used the accelerometer in the iPod touch to sync with the Pure Data audio.

Mirror Sculpture

I found this sculpture to be very, very cool. I’m pretty new to this realm of art, so i can’t really comment on any technical procedures, but I must say it’s amazing what technology is doing in the arts today. I did do some research in Daniel Rozin, (the artist), who is the associate art…
