processing has several new or updated libraries including:
switchboard is a web services library to pull data from Google, Yahoo, Amazon, Del.icio.us, Flickr, and more
MovieMaker makes movies of sketches
ESS handles sound samples, streams, and live audio that can be changed, analyzed, saved, etc
I now have a working version of Cubist Life that has audio functionality.
It monitors the built in mic and increases the 3d projection of the
image such that different parts of the video respond to different
spectrums of sound. I recommend whistling.
here is ted. i believe he is shouting.
i’m working on another version
that uses circles instead of boxes. see me working. it also reduces the
number of colors displayed. i’m trying to get an interactive particle
system going. but that will take time..

photos of our interactive art installation on a 50’ x 50’ plot of land in a cow field in Tennessee. Playing on the idea of an indoor gallery space, hundreds of balls of yarn were tied, tossed, and hung to create individual pieces occupying area between poles, suggesting walls and barriers. Thousands of festival-goers contributed to the constantly changing, never static form. (its mentioned on a knitting blog) Six artists served as curators (armed with scissors) throughout the festival as the piece evolved. Designed John Crowell, Abby Goldfarb, Brandon Kaplan, Sofie Scheerlinck, Ian Trask, and Evan Wheeler, with guidance from John Bisbee and Wade Kavanaugh, at the 2006 Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival. much better than last year’s installation.
Check out the Projects page to the right for the very same description you just read, as well as links to Cubist Life, a 3D video mapping application i demonstrated at Bonnaroo. Its a live-video processing application that maps the video feed into a 3D space based on the brightness of the feed. The video’s pixels are displayed as colored boxes, whose depth is determined by the pixel’s brightness. Moving the mouse along the y-axis pulls the brighter boxes away from the duller ones. The viewing perspective rotates about the displayed feed to highlight the relief of the moving image. Made using Processing with about eighty lines of code.
i also heard the following acts perform: dios (malos), devotchka, devendra banhart, bright eyes, oysterhead, death cab for cutie, cat power and the memphis rhythm band, tom petty and the heartbreakers, my morning jacket, common, neville brothers, magic numbers, dungen, clap your hands say yeah, elvis costello and the imposters feat allen toussaint, beck, cypress hill, radiohead, dr. john, dresden dolls, refugee allstars of sierra leone, matisyahu, the streets, stephen malkmus and the jicks, sun volt, sonic youth, and a little phil lesh and friends.
