What would you do if you were asked to develop an identity for an Audiovisual Performance lounge, organized by 24th Kassel Documentary Film and Video Festival. Right, you would also develop a particle typography in Processing.
Amazing work by Infostuka.
Blitz made this interactive wall for Adobe Creativity Conducted. It’s an amazing combination of Flash, WiiFlash, Papervision3D and the latest Flash player.
“Adobe Creativity Conducted” Interactive Wall Experience features a holographic-like projection system on which you can paint images and designs using a Nintendo Wii remote control. This full screen Flash application runs in HD resolution, and was premiered during the primary Adobe party of the MAX 07 Conference in Chicago. The experience ran uninterrupted for the duration of the party (4 hours), and received nonstop foot traffic resulting in 68 artistic creations submitted as images to a Flickr account.
You can find some more info at the Blitz labs.

Speaking of fashion & technology, here comes LilyPad. LilyPad is basically the hardware you’ll need to do that. It was developed by Leah Buechley & SparkFun and it’s based on Arduino, an open source hardware project based on Wiring based on Processing. It’s a modular system with an accelerometer, a light sensor, a tri-color LED, … now you can make your own Wii controller!

This is still from an abstract animation called ‘Advanced Beauty‘ by Mate Steinforth. First I thought that is was some colors in a water tank. But no, I guess it’s all programmed. (The first image is the video; the whole site is based on wordpress … nice.)
Here’s an other processing project: Biomimetic Butterflies by Robert Hodgin. These butterflies are computer generated! Yeah, it’s just code, some algorithms did all the work. Amazing! Robert explains how it was done here and here.
Who said that coding is for nerds? I just love beautiful code.
Lennyjpg does processing stuff … a lot. He has over 2600 photos in his flickr account with processing projects. One of these programming projects made it to the physical world, he has build the Physical Vertex Buffer in cardboard.
Parklab has put up an example that uses their flash BeatDetector classes: The Longest Way. No, it’s not an animation, just stop the music and you will see … The music is Ricardo Villalobos excellent 37 minutes track ‘Fizheuer Zieheuer’.
Two months ago the White Glove Tracking project was launched. Users were asked to locate Michael Jacksons white glove in a ‘Billy Jean’ live performance video, by drawing a yellow rectangle over it. After 72 hours the job was done, all 10,060 frames were analyzed. Now, they released all the data, the coordinates of the rectangles, and video material for you to use and mash-up. There are already some samples in the gallery, one uses the height of the glove to adjust the speed, an other one always displays the glove centered and at the same size.
This project is related to the Eyebeam Research Lab and the Graffiti Research Lab.
Yes, Flash is finally getting mature, Actionscript 3 and the Flash 9 player are giving us some more power. Adobe even released a beta Flash player that supports multi-core processors for some tasks! And now with Parklabs beat detection class for Actionscript 3, you won’t need any external tool anymore to build some VJ app.
