Method

- set up webcam

- start Processing prog.

- set pixelsize in prog to 1

- saveFrame when frame is filled.

- press ‘run’

- go about and do your daily stuff

- after an hour or two, watch the result.

A first comparison between two software apps: Processing and Elise. (more to come). In Processing, the trouble I often experience is the missing relation between code and action: between first thinking in code before checking the result visually). In this small experiment, the assignment was to create a circle using repetitive patterns. As you can see in Elise, by simply creating one branch of the LSystem, a direct visual feedback is given on what you have crated. By altering the angle or the number of iteration, patterns start emerging and visuals are born.

Circles in Processing

This video shows an exploration of interactive coded visuals. In this case, the animation is recorder and reacts to mouse_Input. These variable will be replaced soon by sensors. This is the code:

Hmm, I would like to see somebody making this in Excel… Weird thing is that this is not the first time this happened on my MacbookPro, and it always happens when some iWorks program is running while also running some other large companies’ office software. When I switch between applications, this is the result:

“Aqua Geo”

“Aqua Geo two”

made in Processing. Code:
import processing.opengl.*;

int a= 0;
int b= 0;
int c= 0;

void setup(){
size(1400,900, P3D);
background(0);
noLoop();
}

void draw(){
for(int i=0;i
a+=1;
b+=10;
c+=1;

fill((255-c),b,a, LIGHTEST);

box(a,b,c);
rotateX(0.01);
rotateZ(0.1);
rotateY(0.1);
}
}

some preliminary -if i am even finished then- design:
