more slit scan kids test renders
I posted a few more test renderings of sample motion to get a better idea of where I want to go with this project. I am fortunate enough to have some people I can sort of choreograph to do these motion tests with, sort of =). The video samples are not recorded on the best digital video camera in the world. My next test to try out some HD footage and see how painful that is going to be for my computer to process. I'm guessing it may take a while.
Experiment with a door and a spinning child.
I narrowed the gap in the frame displacement to yield a longer twist in the above sample.. All three kids totally abandoning their choreographic instructions, lol. Sun, 13 Jul 2008
slit scan video test render done in openframeworks
I have been doing some new projects in openframeworks lately. I have been having lots of fun. This is a test render from one of my variations on slit scan video. I have bigger concept I am working towards with this project. It will be interesting to see where I get with it. If you are into generative art and software based art and art tools you should check openframeworks out. It is very similar to processing except it is a framework for c++ and open GL. It is cross-platform and highly extensible. Having played with openframeworks now for a week or so I am pretty impressed with the ease I was able to get something up and running. Tue, 19 Feb 2008
New audio visualizers in processing by Flight404
Made with Processing. Audio by Goldfrapp ("Lovely Head" off her first album).
Made with Processing. Audio by Flashbulb ("In an Instant" from the album "Red Extensions Of Me")
This is a time-based documentation of how the Magnetic Ink prints are created. The orbital vector is quite noticeable in this video. flight404.com/blog/?p=106 A buddy of mine sent me this link today, Zumbakamera.com which is a collection of nice short animated films by Jossie Malis. These are quite well done, fun, entertaining and have interesting social commentary as well. Check them out.
Generative Flowers II now showing at Victory Plaza in downtown Dallas
My work Generative Flowers II is now playing every day at Victory Plaza in Downtown Dallas. It looks really good although I wish I had made it a little longer. I bundled up the kids since it is really cold today and took them down there to go see it. They ran around the courtyard and got really excited when it came on. Then it started snowing a little and they lost interest in art all together. Thu, 05 Apr 2007
Victory Media Network launch party
My wife and I went to the Victory Media Network launch party last night. It was impressive. The giant HD screens looked fantastic. This place should be a video art heaven provided it does not get whored out to too much advertising. That said, some of the advertising that they had between the art segments was actually better than some of the video art I saw. The Target ads were particularly well done. My work, Generative Flowers II will not be showing on these screens until some time next week. When I get the schedule I will post it on my main site page. The entertainment for the evening was Addictive TV from the UK. They put on a very energetic and entertaining set. Their powers of live AV manipulation were impressive. They appeared to be scratching video much like a normal DJ scratches a record.
Real Time Contextual Art Generator video frame export added
![]() Above video generated with search for "pop art" and "contextual art" (click to launch 2.4mb quicktime in new window) I got up early today and I went ahead and added the video frame export to the Real Time Contextual Art Generator. Now you can generate your own custom contextual video art by simply entering a search query. Download itHERE! (4mb rtcag_1_1_VID_Alpha.zip) ! Please email me( don at donrelyea.com ) with any bugs you find. To export PNG Video Frames do the following: It is possible to adjust fonts and transparency while it is running. I like it best with maximum transparency, it tends to accidentally make fades and blends. The Real Time Contextual Art Generator generates art from user entered queries.
Systemic Abstractors vs Pubic Realists on CultureTV
Systemic Abstractors vs. Pubic Realists makes the Culture TV playlist! From Culture TV Email.... Did you miss the first major international exhibition of contemporary urban art at Baltic? Watch the video of Spank the Monkey outdoor bus tour. February 7th Art Rotterdam 2007 will open. For the opening, GRL specially organizes a unique 'one-off' event that puts the spotlight on Art Rotterdam and the direct vicinity in a spectacular way. With their video Interactive Architure you will get a little preview of their performance. And we added two beautifull art videos to our playlist. LOS PIES LIBRES by Grimanesa Amoros and "Systemic Abstractors vs. Pubic Realists" by Don Reyea. LOS PIES LIBRES by Grimanesa Amoros. "To have naked feet means freedom ("la libertad"). Since I was little I always had the sensation that when I freed myself from shoes, I would also free my body and the voice of my soul." For this reason—to free her soul—, Susana chooses to perform in bare feet so that it will shine through in her voice. Susana's elation is visible in her performance, making it intensely beautiful. Grimanesa Amorós is an interdisciplinary artist with diverse interests in the fields of social history, scientific research and critical theory, which have greatly influenced her work. She was born in Lima, and lives and works in New York City and Peru. Amorós studied at The Art Students League (1984–1988) and Private Ateliers in Lima, Peru (1981–1983). Spank the Monkey was the first major international exhibition of contemporary urban art. Bridging the gap between traditional art spaces and the street, the show featured twenty-two artists from urban centres across the world. Site-specific, one-off artworks and new commissions were sited in BALTIC and on the streets of NewcastleGateshead. BALTIC Curator Alessandro Vincentelli led the Spank the Monkey outdoor works bus tour. "Systemic Abstractors vs. Pubic Realists" by Don Reyea is an exploration of conflict within a generative art work. In a traditional drawing, there is evidence of the artists efforts to push and pull the image into place. Artifacts from buildup and erasure contribute to the character of the image and leave the viewer with evidence of a struggle between man and materials. In this art work, program objects fight with one another for control, the image is the evidence of the struggle. The Graffiti Research Lab will be in Rotterdam from February 7th through the 10th. They’re taking control of the Renzo Piano KPN Telecom Building and turning the Kop Van Zuid into the People’s Revolutionary Green Laser Light District. They´re turning the 37 x 72 meter screen into a place to display your uncurated animations and graphics. The back-side of the KPN is becoming a giant open wall you can write on with a BFL (big fucking laser). And throughout the week, the G.R.L. will venture outside the green zone on sorties to laser tag and projection bomb the city of Rotterdam on the BORF riot bike.
