LISTEN/VISION co-produced with Volume Projects is very happy to announce the first NYC edition of the LISTEN/VISION event series. This June 9th event at Monkeytown presents exclusive LISTEN/VISION pieces by Sawako, Greg Davis, David Kwan, Frank Bretschneider and Nate Boyce. Come celebrate as Overlap goes national!

A moment dedicated to artistic experimentation, to the exploration of non-conventional expressive languages and to the research on new technologies. An occasion for some among the most interesting international artists to investigate the creative and communicative potential of music, video art, sound design and electronics/electronic arts in synergy.

From May 22nd to 25th the most representative places of Milan will be transformed through performances and installations from international artists. audiovisiva 5.0 penetrates the urban tissue, flows through the streets and the squares, takes museums, antique buildings, private villas and underground garages as its milestones while turning the city into one wide stage.

Fivestar's Podcast

This is a short exercise I did while taking Podcasting 101 at BAVC with Christopher Willits. I wanted to interview him about podcasting but he was to shy. Desperate for content to practice with, I sent a call out to my Twitter followers. Gastronomicdiva came to the rescue with content from Swing Life Style. I ended up laughing a little while reading it in class and there was a formatting problem on the page that blocked the text. Any way, hopefully I'll use these ideas sometime in the future.

Short description

Film dialog, taken from subtitle files, defines movement and appearance of particles that leave traces on the screen. Smoky watercolor drawings emerge from each movies individual frequency of spoken words and their letters.

How it works

Several particles move across the screen according to their individual acceleration and velocity values. Each particle is fed a letter of the current displayed movie dialog. The amount of active particles is defined by the amount of letters in the subtitle line. The letter influences the particles movement dynamics by adjusting the acceleration value into a calculated direction and changes its size by defining a growing or shrinking rate. Lowercase consonant letters are relocated to the position of the word's starting letter, while lowercase vocal letters bend their path towards the direction of the word's starting letter.

This fixed set of conditions lacks random actions and therefore causes the exact same drawing if run twice. Yet the applet allows the user to manipulate the drawing by either stopping the dialog replay or changing the playing speed. By hitting the pause button, the movie stops and the particles remain with the letter the have been fed right before. This allows the particles to follow their initiated pathways without constantly changing pace and direction.

Movies that are defined by rapid successions of spoken dialog produce drawings that consist mostly of black ink blobs that grow together, as the particles are constantly reset with new parameters. Movies that show long silent pauses between scenes gives particles more time to produce long lines and curves. By altering the replay speed of the movie, size and dynamic of the emerging drawings can be controlled.

AhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHhhhhhh! Our time in Guangzhou is nearing an end for this spell. I have not adequately covered what Lu and I have been up to. Here are some immediate photos taken of Guangzhou which illustrate the dynamism of where we live right now.

We discovered this village a couple of blocks from our house was being destroyed to make way for new housing and skyscrapers which you’ll see at the end of this.

Also, a few of my colleagues will be happy to note that a W hotel and Ritz-Carlton are being built on these grounds — ironies abound. The other day as well, helped my wife’s parents plant some plants. They wanted me to help dig out this huge *rock* in the ground. That rock happened to be a big multi-colored chunk of rubble from the village that lays under where we live — some kind of rock!

I need to get into photo dumping online. What is the linux workflow that others use to get photos from camera, to desktop, to flickr, Internet Archive, etc? I just took a hard look at just uploading all my photos to Internet Archive, but the interfaces are not there for photo fun nor conversion to other formats, and the biggest part is lack of active community. Any thoughts?

yesterday i ran an anime marathon, watching the last 5 episodes of ghost hound, an anime about syncronicities, OBE, spirits and stem-cell research, among others. And activation of the pineal gland.
.
sadly, the last episode - "stochastic resonance" - i had only in japanese original, so I couldn’t finish it.
.
today, I got stuck in the traffic, and that’s the book right in front of me.
