TERRA #1

Art project by Matteo Zamagni uses the Unreal graphics engine to generate realtime effects to abstract 3D terrapatterns:

The first of a series of iterations on the exploration of real-time Environments for live art performances. All the content have been performed live with Unreal Engine and subsequently edited for demonstration purposes. The sequence of events, lighting, environment, atmosphere, and so forth change accordingly to sound or triggered remotely live via OSC at all times.

Playing with Terrapattern that was designed using processing is super cool. Thinking about different landscapes that will create interesting ariel patterns intrigues the impact that technology has on cityscapes.

Terrapattern Play

Initially being mind blown an boggled about the complexities and dexterous abilities that processing holds, I’ve subsided my hesitations and thrown myself into play. How else can you learn or discover without play? Based on the project by http://www.terrapattern.com/about I began searching locations and spaces around NYC to find interesting ariel mapping or similar locations around NYC that are the similar in shape and location. La Guardia airport had interesting pattern tiles for runways and plane positions on the runways.

Terrapattern: I included a link to SF, for the reader here. It is a visual search engine for satellite imagery. 

Discussion on boulder route setting in North America vs Europe. American comps are super big and burly moves. European is more finesse. 

What Map Nerds did before the internet. A man who collected 12,000 maps during his life. As a childhood map collector, i can understand this appeal.

Terrapattern lets people search for patterns otherwise hidden in troves of publicly available satellite imagery. It works a lot like Google’s reverse image search: click on a map tile, and the tool searches for satellite imagery with similar visual attributes. 

For example, if you click on a purple tennis court in San Francisco, Terrapattern will surface dozens of examples of similar tennis courts in the area and show their locations on a map. Like many recent computer vision projects, Terrapattern uses something called a convolutional neural network to make sense of what it’s looking at.
