Plate VI-3

Scott — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 02:09:10 +0000

Following on from my last post, I recreated a couple more of Josef Albers‘ colour plates from Interaction of Colour. The following Processing sketches give the illusion that they are made up of just two colours. Clicking either will show that the overlaid shapes are in fact a third, different colour [...]

Plate IV-I

Scott — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 00:24:36 +0000

My research has lead me into the dangerous world of perception. So much of how we interpret the world is based on experience, language, culture, and so on – all very subjective words. If this is true, how would someone that cannot communicate through verbal or written means see the world? Do they see, hear, [...]

Response: Who’s Afraid of Artistic Research?

Scott — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 02:14:06 +0000

I think it’s worth my time responding to some of the papers I’m reading at the moment. Not that they particularly need responding to because of any inaccuracies or points of contention, but I’m hoping that it might help to solidify my own position as I start work on my PhD. In short, express my [...]

IODA and Copyright on YouTube

In 2010, the Finders Keepers markets asked us (Eli Murray, Lukasz Karluk and myself) to create a promotional video of sorts for their talk at Creative Sydney. We used a segment of Eli’s music (otherwise known as Gentleforce) for the clip and I posted it to YouTube. A few days [...]

Open Education Week

Not much time for a full-length rant today: I’ve got to come up with an ingenious way to teach the kiddies about variables tonight. Big concept for those starting out with code, and a very important one.

Something that popped up on my Twitter feed that I thought worth noting is an announcement that March [...]

The Subjectivity of Data

Scott — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 02:23:39 +0000

One of the best things about doing a PhD is being able to ‘audit’ classes. This means I can participate in just about any subject I wish, but I’m not bound to complete assessments and the like. Talk about bi-winning.

One of the classes I’m auditing this semester is The Art of Scientific [...]

Mappa v03

Scott — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 00:50:30 +0000

I’ve started working on a simple projection mapping patch in MaxMSP for the upcoming Share Sydney night at Serial Space. The idea is that once finished, I’ll take it across to MaxForLive and allow it to be dynamically controlled by both audio and MIDI input.

It seemed simple enough, but video [...]

Why Code?

One of the members of the Sydney Awesome Foundation, (the awesome) Steve Hopkins, has come up with the idea of blogging every day in March to try and get some creative juices flowing. My posting here has been lagging a little, though I’m not sure that more time in front of the computer [...]
