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.
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!

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.
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.
I have posted Robert Hodgin’s processing project called Magnetosphere some weeks ago. Yesterday he released it as a plugin for iTunes! Go and get it here, make sure that you checkout the options by pressing the ? key after installation.
This piece of art is by Erik Natzke, some of you might know him as the person who is always steps ahead when it comes to Flash. Indeed I call it art; he created this with Flash and not Processing or whatever, and that is just amazing. He uploaded a movie which shows how this image was generated, watch it to believe it.
He will hold a workshop at OFFF next month, so if you’re going rsvp your seat now! I won’t make it unfortunately so let’s hope that he will post some notes afterwards.
You can also keep an eye on his Flickr account to see what he’s up to.
This is still from a movie by Robert Hodgin (a.k.a. flight404). It’s programmed with processing and it really shows the power of it, remember the Audi TT movie. You can watch a high quality quicktime video here. AMAZING!

This is a still from a viral for the new Audi TT by Universal Everything. Watch the video here.
EDIT
I just found out that the graphics were done with processing by Toxi, you can find stills at his flickr account.
This makes it even more stunning.
Wrap is a small tool to create your own wrapping paper by Douglas Edric Stanley. You can change the pattern by clicking the randomize button, then you select the right paper size and hit the print button, a few moments later you’ll get a pdf ready to print out.
I know it’s too late for this holiday season … maybe next time …
