This is an iPad app work-in-progress, which allows for painterly gestures made by Apple Pencil to be expressed as complex fluid and organic motion. This was used extensively for my recent gigs performing live visuals with This is the Kit, … Read More
This is a snippet of video showing animated contours of high-resolution height-field data around Winchester. Distinct patterns can be seen in the water meadow tributories of the River Itchen, hills, human habitation, roads etc. Documentation is somewhat sparse at present, … Read More
I am privileged to present two “Feedback Variations” works at a large group show at Goldsmiths, including a new piece “Cardboard Box Recursion” for Google Cardboard. Also present at the exhibition is the latest iteration of William Latham’s Mutator 2, … Read More
Here’s a video sample of my current sketches of abstract motion-based art built in FoldSynth: I think I’m going to reimplement some similar functionality as used to make these stills in JavaScript so that it can be easily on the … Read More
I’ve released an app based on my earlier experiments with kaleidoscope video feedback. I’m rather proud, an early user review heralds it as “Best eye candy on the ipad! Addictive, hypnotic and fun. Highly recommended“. I have a simple site … Read More
Sometimes in graphics programming (and other things), mistakes are made. It’s always nice when these lead to interesting serendipitous discoveries, rather than just a black screen (most common), or flames coming out of the computer etc. Here are some results … Read More
Molecule descending a staircase.
I’ve been playing around a bit with doing video feedback through a kaleidoscope shader. In these images, the ‘seed’ that is fed into the feedback is simply the plain black or white background of the window. There is a single … Read More
Here are a few images I created with (virtual) video feedback. Many of these were automatically evolved based on their spatial-frequency content. Others were generated interactively, with various different interfaces. Really, this stuff is much more fun when moving, and … Read More
Welcome to xinaesthetic.net. Here is an application for exploration of the parameter space of a graphics synthesiser. Your motions are followed and used to determine the fitness function of a genetic algorithm which breeds new offspring to replace those you … Read More
I’ve had fun for a while playing with video feedback by pointing webcams back at the screen… more recently I’ve being applying this in a pure computer graphics context in PD with Gem. I’ve found that with a few elements … Read More
