landscape #1

Installation by David Bowen is a depth camera placed in woodlands, transmitting a live feed of 3D information of area:

This work is a real-time video projection of point-cloud data streaming from a three-dimensional camera installed in an outdoor location. The video displayed consists of over 250,000 individual points, creating a 3D model of a living stand of trees. The color of the individual pixels shifts from blue to red to green in respect to their relative distance from the camera. This color shift illustrates the dynamic depth of the three-dimensional field giving the scene an artificial appearance and producing a formal contrast between the natural forms and the digital system collecting the data. As it monitors and collects real-time data from this location, the system relays an incomplete physical representation of a dynamic living landscape and fluid environmental conditions in digital form.

The last part in Chloe's interview with a couple of wanna-be tech bros in Baltimore https://medium.com/p/e3c2b89ce103

My wife Chloe (http://chloe-irla.com/home.html) and I recently became parents (hence slow-down in activity and output). This has been wonderful. But at roughly the same time she has dealt with some fairly crappy situations regarding employment and centered around her being a new mother and a woman. It began with her then current employer—a famous cake bakery in Baltimore—being less than understanding to border line ignoring her maternity leave request. After maternity leave she returned to work only to find that she had been discriminated against—her title (operations manager) being given to another employee while all her responsibilities handed to yet another employee, meanwhile she was demoted to a cake decorator which she has no experience doing. We believe this was their attempt to push her out of the business, surprise they succeeded. Anyway since resigning from that bakery in protest she has been searching for new work. Along the way she has encountered additional forms of discrimination and just plain old shitty attitudes about basically being a woman and a mother. It's been a stressful and challenging time to say the least. Chloe has begun to write about her experiences and publish them on medium: Part 1 https://medium.com/p/71866d8bde75 And Part 2 https://medium.com/p/729f2cb57440 Part 3 of 3 should be published early next week. If you're interested have a look at what she's been experiencing. If you have thoughts to share, please do.

INTERVIEW WITH FELIX GONZALEZ TORRES

“I wanted to do a show that would disappear completely. It had a lot to do with disappearance and learning. It was also about trying to be a threat to the art-marketing system, and also, to be really honest, it was about being generous to a certain extent. I wanted people to have my work. The fact that someone could just come and take my work and carry it with them was very exciting. Freud said that we rehearse our fears in order to lessen them. “

My wish is that some day he plays in Baltimore so I can go see him live.

Felix's first road trip! Baltimore to Columbus OH to Detroit MI and back. At 4 months old she's already visited more states than I had at her age. In fact it wasn't until I was 18 that I had visited as many states as she has. Off to a good start Adventure Baby. Somewhere in western MD checking out the mountains.

I have achieved pixelFlocking!

eh?

Simply put: Image processing using (networked) localized feedback.

Allow me to explain further: Feedback requires an input source and output destination connected such that the output is directed to the input. In this case, source = some pixels, destination = other pixels onto which we map the source, plus some transformations. Here the transformations are displacement and hue rotation. The displacement is controlled by a flocking algorithm, one that appears in the Processing examples written by Daniel Shiffman.

At present, I have a lot of work to do to clean things up and make some intuitive affordances, but here’s the sketch code in progress:

https://github.com/yearoftheglitch/aYearInCode/blob/master/vectorDrift/vectorDrift.pde

If it looks kinda like datamoshing, it’s because the very same process is evoked when you remove i-frames and repeatedly copy and paste a p-frame. Sorry about the jargon, but basically I’ve coded a process that datamoshing exploits, namely a feature of video rendering on the decoding side that applies vector based displacement to data in a frame buffer, etc.
