This video shows the test of a software developed as a programming exercise.
The image is digitally manipulated by fragmenting it into horizontal lines and then combining lines from different frames in the display. The result is a distorsion of the figures caused by their motion in time, or, as Brazilian researcher Arlindo Machado [...]

Around the webs Robert is known as Flight404. This piece and many others by him are made with Processing. Tons more at his blog and Vimeo account. DVD release forthcoming.

This is my response to an image recently promoted to the top of social image bookmarking site, FFFFOUND!.

Erik Natzke’s generative paintings are made using Flash, sometimes from sampled photos and video and other times from scratch. He controls very specifically the environment in which his creations thrive, leaving the artwork’s specificities to the whim of the code. Generations of pixels live out their lives in quiet service of the master.

FFFFOUND! is a new-ish image bookmarking site, kind of like del.icio.us for whatever badass photography/art/design/etc. you find around the internet. Not only that though, the website itself is an aggregate cornucopia of beautiful, stimulating, cortex-crunching imagery taken from everyone else’s submissions.

A ton of really excellent graphic and motion design for film and television, specifically sweet futuristic-looking computer interfaces and information visualizations. By Mark Coleran.

Freaking delicious. This TV spot was created with Processing for the launch of the Audi TT in Australia; direction/concept by Matt Pyke, programming/sound by Karsten Schmidt.

Scientists Chi-Wing Fu and Andrew Hanson develop a model for visualizing the degrees of scale between different functional levels of matter formation, ranging from the observable universe as a whole to one Planck length.

Two professors and a graduate student at UNC Chapel Hill formulate a new model that superimposes over the Big Bang theory (…)

(…) the recently launched CoRoT satellite, combined with ground-based observatories, will soon be able to estimate density of extrasolar planets, thus allowing us to locate long-theorized ocean planets (…)

Or as Matthew Oliphant calls it, “colorizing images and movies with squiggles”. Students at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem’s Rachel and Selim Benin School of Computer Science and Engineering (HUJ-RSBSCSE for short I guess?, just rolls off the tounge) have devised a way to add simple marks to areas of an image or video [...]
