Recent And Not-So-Recent Links II
My appetite for generative artwork has been whet by dataisnature, but it's not enough! I'd like to know more about Rangolis, if anyone has any good resources please leave them in the comments.
Jake Elliot's Pop Sketch Series generates map-like drawings by analysing midi files. HaoHao is a Processing sketch which generates 2d and 3d visuals through the interaction of wandering particles. I can't believe I haven't linked to it before, but you need Michel 'flux' Chang's Auto Roads in your life.
Electroland make interactive walkways. Adam Nash and Mami Yamanaka make 3d interactive soundscapes (via Igloo). Generator Blog helps you make anything.
The Institute for the Future are thinking about visualisation. Manhattan Timeformations is a set of visualisations which map Manhattan's skyscraper districts through time.
I'm cross-eyed, but intrigued, by Central St. Martin's College's hyperlinks in print.
Chris Heathcote and Matt Jones spoke about Tangible Computing at Etech. Here's a list of architectural toys. Apparently new Powerbooks have motion sensors. Here's one way to make a cheap infra-red webcam.
Do digital art shows lack technological transparency?
Arcade is a Project Blinkenlights installation.
The Journal of Architecture and Computation looks like one to watch. Social Fiction is inviting submissions for a DIY journal about pattern recognition. Here's a 1994 paper on The History of the Interface in Interactive Art. Mute magazine's online presence seems a lot more active than last time I looked.
John Maeda: "when we see objects move around we perceive them to be alive".

Journal of Architecture and Computation is going through a complete revamp at the moment and will merge with www.futurefeeder.com in the near future.

hi Tom!
Thanks for the link to dataisanture. Rangolis are also known as Rangavalli. I picked up some amazing pattern books with very complex designs that i will scan in and put online if and when i get the chance.
For now check out this link

These are realtively simple configurations compared to the ones in the books but give you an idea of how the works are composed procedurally over a matrix of dots!
