This is pretty darn beautiful. Projection mappings been done to death but so far most people have just copied each other and done trippy, morphing stuff on castles and libraries. HC Gilje takes a step back and puts two flat surfaces to work. We’re in love.

Casablanca ripoff.

We were hired to make a mock 50′s poster for an instructional video. We love getting down and dirty with textures and colourized photographs!

Ghettobulbs

Creative fingers are itching, so i decided to co-design a lamp with my partner Lotta. Three 120mm lightbulbs, blood, sweat and tears (the blood and tears from Lotta, the sweat from me).

Back to the motherland

So while Richard is working his way down south to Gothenburg I’m doing the complete opposite and head back to the motherland Norrbotten for fourteen days. So far I’m only half way, just south of Umeå but the landscape is already beautiful as fuck as I’ve tried to get across in these crappy iPhone snaps. (Shot through the window of a Volvo no less, how’s that for authentic?)

Will maybe get some HSB manipulation code done, this time pretty rather than grungy. Will shoot pictures, have great food and read up on Fermat fo sho.

Note to self: infants hate airplanes because they fuck up their ears. Don’t bring kids on planes, it’s just cruel.

Processing: RGB Morpher

Our adventures in Processing land continue. This time we decided to mash some colors for instant Ode Skoo Psychedelia like. This one manipulates the R, G & B values of each pixel by a variable offset. Not very subtle but that’s not what we’re going for here. Go check out the Java applet or download the sketch here.

Next, we’re applying this baby to video. Should be trippy enough.

Go Linz!

I’m so happy right now. The season finale for Season 8 of my favourite show The Amazing Race just aired here in Sweden (yes, we’re a a bit late) and the Linz kids won! I’ve been rooting for them ever since the Black family got eliminated. And that was way back in Episode 1.

Uhm, this is totally uninteresting to most of you, right? Tough luck, I’m the one with the blog account.

Now, off to celebrate with a cuppa and some more trippy Processing fun.

Pixerlizer (or Processing Baby Steps)

We’ve been eyeing Processing for a while now and finally decided to take the plunge. The result turned out to be pretty useful (albeit not unique).

Pixerlizer in Processing from GOAB on Vimeo.

The theory is simple: load color values for all pixels of the current frame to a 2D array, sample the color value c of every nth pixel on every nth row, draw a rectangle n*n in it’s place with color c. Rinse and repeat. Performance is in all honesty pretty horrible but that seems to be inherent in the processing.movie library and my ageing Macbook. All in all, a good learning and experience and we’re already working on new Processing-stuff. Stay tuned.

Bye bye snow, hello rain.

So, after spending 25 years in the cold north, I’ve decided to give Gothenburg a chance. It’s only a short affair, I’ll be subleasing an apartment for a year, but we all know those are the best. I’ll be arriving the 13th of August, wish me luck! /Richard

MEGA!

Yeah, pretty awesome new visuals for top bangers Hervé & Sinden. A lot of Apparati Effimeri in there but that’s alright when it’s this scrummy.
