gp2x pattern maker demo @ JANM, LA. Nov 7, 2009

As part of the first stop on the Data Beez West Coast Tour, I gave a short demo of an application that I wrote for the gp2x and one for the gameboy advance.

The gp2x application creates patterns based on various mathematical combinations of user defined waveforms. The gameboy advance application works with sprites to create patterns that can be scrolled, glitched, and roto-zoomed.

The presentation was given on Nov 7th, 2009 at the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles as part of the Giant Robot Biennale Exhibit.

Talk / Demo at ITP Oct 22, 2008

Tomorrow night (Oct 22, 2008), I’ll be giving a talk/demo for the New Interfaces for Musical Expression class at ITP. “You know… I do visuals, not music, right?” - “Yes” but Hans-Christoph still wanted me to come.

What I plan to cover:

  • Visuals as an extension to synthesized sounds
  • Oscillography
  • Function Generators into a TV / Monitor
  • More Video Synthesis at Experimental Television Center
  • Using Pure Data to emulate and expand on Video Synthesis
  • The move to handhelds: Gameboy Advance and GP2X

Show and tell will be an audio/video synth patch using Pure Data and then passing around the GP2X for people to try out.

Aloha from Maui! Teaching Digital Media

Today is my last full day in Hawaii.

Sadly… I didn’t bring my camera - but trust me, it’s beautiful.

I’ve been here for a week teaching a Digital Media class for the wonderful teachers of Sacred Hearts School.

Despite some technical issues, I think we had a good time and everyone got some hands on experience with the camera, editing video, etc.

Special Thanks to Principal Susan Hendricks for making this possible!

Tomorrow I’m flying to California where I’ll stay for about a week before returning to New York.
