cristobal — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 15:10:15 +0000

I’ve been trying to get a better understanding about OpenFrameworks and Open GL, so I did this piece that combines drawing 3D graphics real-time and sound analisys to manipulate them.

The graphics are inspired in the video game Rez developed by Sega and conceptualized by Tetsuya Mizuguchi.

Here you can find the source code. You need OpenFrameworks to run it and ofxMSAShape3D class by Mega Super Awesome Visual Company. Place your own mp3 file into the “data” folder, turn your speaker on and… Enjoy!

Curious Displays

hec — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 14:31:45 +0000

This is a thesis project from Julia Y. Tsao. According to the author:

The project explores our relationship with devices and technology by examining the multi-dimensionality of communication and the complexity of social behavior and interaction. In its essence, the project functions as a piece of design fiction, considering the fluctuating nature of our present engagement with media technology and providing futurist imaginings of other ways of being.

Personally I love the idea of the integration of the technology in the space. All in one. There is no device, the interaction with technology and it response is done like in real life, in the space where human lives.

Julia Tsao is also the person who is behind the visuals for Nosaj Thing we posted weeks ago.
