Audible Mesh Captures
I’ve posted a gallery of 32 select captures from the Soft Machine Gallery exhibition of the Audible Mesh installation. The piece ran from mid-December 2011 to mid-January 2012, and the software captured snapshots of the visualizations every 30 seconds during the show. Below are a few shots included in the...

As mentioned in the previous post, I was invited to show 2 of my interactive pieces in the _TECHNIFYING show at Soft Machine Gallery in Allentown, PA. The show comes down this weekend, but I wanted to post a few photos of the installation to show the pieces in context. The work reacts to sound and motion, so the placement of the pieces are perfect in a room with other art that makes noise. In other news about me, I will be presenting at New Vox Gallery in Bethlehem this Wednesday at 7pm as part of their “Artist Salon” series. I will be discussing my design process,...

To follow up on my last post about the animated kolam piece, I wanted to include some details on the AppleScript I used to launch the movie and full-screen it. As I mentioned before, the script is admittedly a little hacky, but I certainly got the job done. Here’s the AppleScript which was called in the last line of the loop in my shell script (from the last post): tell application “QuickTime Player” quit end tell delay 1 do shell script “open -F ~/Documents/kolam-drawings/final.mpg” tell application “QuickTime Player” activate delay...

As part of my website overhaul, I decided to redesign my site in WordPress and figured that along the way it would be best to setup a blog for some occasional tech/design/programming/web/interactivity updates. Or just random pictures of my cat and dog occupying the same room, while maintaining a 4 foot radius from each other. As you may know from browsing the site, I just finished up a gallery show with my colleague, Bruce Wall. The show is entitled The Art of Indian Kolam: Traditional Designs & New Media and it featured a true integration between Bruce’s fine art work and my...
