Quikdrawl is a drawing interface which uses 2 hacked gun game controllers with red LED attached to the front of each. Clicking the trigger turned on the LED which was color tracked to find it’s location. Each time the trigger is pressed, a bullet hole through layered textures appears on the screen. The textures were preprepared but the intention is that these would be captured and created from a certain section of the users silhouette and layered in with previous textures. Nick, Steve and me worked on this application for our set pixel class. Made with OpenFrameworks.

A scene for the a/v engine/live performance visualization tool Nick, Steve and me are working on. This is an underwater scene where bubbles are generated based on the FFT and emerge from the near the top of the cv blob, near the performers mouth. The bubbles generated in the background are also based on the FFT and bounce of off of the performers contour. These are produced to give the illusion of swimming through water to the top. The screen capture is a little laggy and has a test video overlayed to demonstrate the position of the performer. The scenes were created with the intention of performing live with Analogue Transit. Music in these videos by: Nine Inch Nails

A simple color tracking app that tracks 2 colors. Made with OpenFrameworks.

Uses frontal face tracking, the cats eyes follow the face detected. Made with OpenFrameworks.

Chris Sugrue came in to class last week and talked to us about the work she’s been doing. Really great inspiration and code examples on her website. She’s showing at the New York Electronic Art Festival, looking forward to go there and check it out.

Beautiful People is a poster generated by analyzing and processing data from Marilyn Manson’s “Beautiful People” music video. The software was written in C++/OpenFrameworks for my SetPixel class at Parsons.

The software analyzes histogram values for each frame in the video to generate organic elements. The size and position of each element is dictated by the average brightness of darkness of that frame in the video. More projects I’ve worked on in this class can be viewed on my blog or on my class site. More projects I’ve worked on using C++/OpenFrameworks can be viewed here.

Beyonce’s ‘Single Ladies’ music video and Jamiroquai’s ‘Canned Heat’ as a tribute to Jason Salavon. The video was exported as an image sequence at 15fps through Photoshop. It took some time to render the result in oF. After the render I ran the images through a min/max and histogram equilization algorithm. Written in C++/OpenFrameworks.

A simple drawing tool. Has options for 5 texture brushes, brush size, fill, eraser and clear. Written in C++/OpenFrameworks.

Here’s a little app I wrote with PHP and the Last.fm API to write my last.fm username using my top artists’ album artwork as pixels. Click on the image to view it online.

Jason Salavon does some really amazing work. Looking at this for inspiration for creating a piece with averaged images.
