Monoskop Aaron Sherwood-Blog Firewall is an interactive media installation created with Mike Allison . A stretched sheet of spandex acts as a membrane interface sensitive to depth that people can push into and create fire-like visuals as well as expressively play music. The original concept stems from a performance piece I’m currently developing as Purring Tiger (with Kiori Kawai) titled Mizalu, which will premiere in June 2013. During one scene in the performance dancers will press into the spandex with the audience facing the opposite side. Mizalu is about death and experience of reality, so this membrane represents a plane that you can experience but never get through. As hard as you try to understand what’s in between life and death, you can never fully know. The piece was made using Processing, Max/MSP, Arduino and a Kinect. User Testing:

CRAFTING HUMAN PERCEPTION / EXHIBITION « Francesca Perona Interactive installation that explores new ways of extending the natural bandwidth of human perception through computational textiles and sensors. The piece creates an immersive enviroment in which visitors rediscover tactile experiences and body awareness. The visitors encounter two panels and two pairs of head-phones hanging from the ceiling. Each panel has a pair of sleeves. Sensors embedded in the textile surface record the vibration provoked by the touch and motion, amplified with a small circuit hidden in the panel. The crafted artwork helps the visitors to reconnect with their own body and perception, creating cognitive feedback loops between touch and sound. The surface itself has been designed with an experimental sound-led process, exploring the vibration produced by different materials and craft techniques. This artwork has been presented at the “Digital Futures” event at the Sackler Centre, Victoria & Albert Museum and at the Watermans Centre, (Brentford).
Niklas Agevik's blog - 20 lessons about making viral apps I learned the hard way I have a lot of people to thank for this post - too many to mention that have shared their knowledge with me. But above all, this post would not have been possible without the team we have at Instabridge. So, 20 lessons about making viral apps I learned the hard way: 1) Buying downloads is cheap. Facebook is cheapest, AdMob is second cheapest. 2) Having an app that requires a user’s friends to use the app is a problem to be solved, not a viral hook. 3) Users uninstall apps aggressively. 3) Retention is your most important measure. 4) The younger users are, the more they hate having to login with Facebook. 5) Learn App store SEO (AEO). 6) In Western Europe and the US, Android fragmentation is a negligible problem when you start out. 7) You need to have a QA process from the start. 8) Mixpanel is the gold standard for measurements in mobile apps. 9) One hour of user testing will tell you more about user behaviours than reading articles like this. 13) The app market is local.
Paleodictyon Paleodictyon A project by Simon Geilfus, Yannick Jacquet and Thomas Vaquié Centre Pompidou Metz, France, October 6th 2012 Loosely inspired by the work and research of deep-sea expert Peter A. Rona, the piece abolishes notions of scale by contrasting micro-architecture with human construction. Fascinated by the marks left by unknown creatures called Paleodictyon Nodosum, he offers the hypothesis that these hexagonal structures are designed in order to cultivate bacteria. A modern day Captain Nemo, Peter A. Rona wanders relentlessly across the seabed looking to discover these living creatures, of which we only know of their mysterious geometrical makeup, reminiscent of the Centre Pompidou’s hexagonal shape frame. Artistic direction by Simon Geilfus, Yannick Jacquet, Thomas Vaquié Producer Nicolas Boritch Visual content by Simon Geilfus, Yannick Jacquet, Romain Tardy Music composed by Thomas Vaquié Architecture Shigeru Ban (2010)
A Lion Made from 4,000 Pieces of Hammered Metal by Selçuk Yılmaz Created from nearly 4,000 pieces of metal scraps, Aslan (Turkish for Lion), is a recent sculpture by Istanbul-based artist Selçuk Yılmaz. The piece took nearly a year of work and involved hand-cutting and hammering of each individual metal piece. The final work weighs roughly 550 pounds (250kg). When Plants Jam with Synths: Leslie Garcia’s Open Project Lets Plants Talk with Sound Pulsu(m) Plantae _ project presentation from LessNullVoid on Vimeo. You may have seen a plant used as a musical instrument before, by measuring capacitance across the leafy life form and turning it into a touch sensor. This is something different: it’s letting the plant itself express communication through sound, using biofeedback to turn the living systems on the plant into something audible. It is a synth jam, made by a plant, that tells you something about what the plant is sensing about the world around it. From Tijuana, México, media artist and musician Leslie Garcia shares the latest iteration of her open hardware project, which builds on readily-accessible, open platforms to make a tool for learning and experimentation anyone might use. Images courtesy the artist. If you’re comfortable with Spanish, check out the project site. If you’re near México, in April, you can catch a workshop and installation version of the project in Oaxaca, for the Proyecta Festival.
PHOTO the next set of posts... Le Dyskograf, Qwartz Max Mathews 2013 | Qwartz En partenariat avec Plus le dessin sera juste, plus la musique sera belle et intéressante. C’est au tour des trois inventeurs, Jesse Lucas, Erwan Raguenes et Yro, du lecteur de disques graphiques Dyskograf, de recevoir le Qwartz Max Mathews 2013. Un nouveau geste, une interprétation numérique, la transmission et l’interprétation. Le Dyskograf a le potentiel de permettre l’existence d’une autre écriture musicale. Même si le principe n’est pas le même que The Metaphysics of Notation, Mark Applebaum pourrait y trouver une extraordinaire application. Alors nous rêvons d’un orchestre uniquement composé des inventions récipiendaires du Qwartz Max Mathews… Vous pourrez rencontrer Jesse Lucas, Erwan Raguenes et Yro le 4 avril à la Machine du Moulin Rouge à partir de 18h. Entrée libre.
