Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Results (CA Dept of Education) Firewall: An Interactive Fabric Surface by Aaron Sherwood Firewall is a new interactive artwork by New York media artist Aaron Sherwood created in collaboration with Michael Allison. The presentation is relatively straightforward but still visually stunning: different ‘modes’ of light are projected onto a taut membrane of spandex which then reacts kinetically in response to touch. Firewall was made using Processing, Max/MSP, Arduino and a Kinect that work in tandem to create the experience and will be used in an upcoming performance art piece involving dancer Kiori Kawai who will interact with the piece on stage. Learn more over on Sherwood’s blog. (via designboom)

collaborating on OBBL Architecture Blocks Math Cats has enjoyed collaborating with Maurici Carbó Jordi to bring you Math Cats' OBBL. Maurici developed the original OBBL program and was delighted by our addition of the cat blocks and the help and ideas pages. (Maurici wrote early on: "My english is very poor, and I experience a lot of difficulties to explain myself.") The javascript code needed to be lightly adapted to permit the changes, and both Maurici and Wendy of Math Cats worked on these changes. Maurici accepts our reset button (the magic wand below the working space), but he will not place a reset button on his own version of OBBL. "You are free! Then Maurici explained that he likes buttons which convey a universally understood concept. "I don't like reset buttons. You can't reset a denominator! There are a lot of other reasons. When I see an little boy with his father or his mather, sometimes I think: Look at this little boy (or girl) He loves his father (or his mother) at all! That's why I don't like reset buttons.
