Scattered Memories

Some Traditional Art

I’ve started a new semester in uni and this semester I’ve chosen to go back to my roots and study practical art courses.
I’ve created a few pieces in Mixed Media

I’ve also added a new section into my portfolio, for traditional art and uploaded a few favourites of mine.

Taronga Zoo

Yesterday I ventured to Taronga Zoo with Gaven and Cameron from Sydney Uni’s Photosoc.

We spent a good couple of hours snapping away at what the zoo had to offer.

Angela’s Dish @ Spectrum

In a bizarre twist, one band forgot to turn up last night. This left us with Angela’s Dish and The Sundance Kids to entertain the restless Spectrum audience.

Webcam in a cube?

I made this little application in Processing where a webcam’s video goes on all 6 faces on a cube. What’s more is that you can drag the cube in any direction you want to rotate it and see other faces on the cube!

I don’t know why the video isn’t how it comes out of the webcam, probably during the conversion between DirectX and QuickTime formats for the Java based program that Processing is.

If you want to play with a similar toy, I’ve uploaded a similar one but with an image on the cube. That’s online for everyone to play with until I finish the one I’m working on.

EDIT: I managed to get it to work properly on another computer.

We made a Multitouch Pad from a cardboard box!

I made this last week in conjunction with my Advanced Interactive Multimedia Design class, comparing how a simple multitouch pad compared with other more advanced systems of a similar nature.

Items needed:

• Computer
• Webcam
• Cardboard box
• White paper
• Large hard clear surface (eg. clear clipboard)
• Software (available here)

Here are some still images

The Sydney Sculpture Walk

Today I had a walk around Sydney for my Public Art class.

We walked along most of the Sydney Sculpture Walk and various other artforms around the city.

I was of course there to take photos!

2 new websites!

I’ve decided to create 2 new pages for your viewing pleasure. One is a personal blog where I post anything and everything I decide I should share with the world. The other one is for uni, where I post work that I’ve done and the documentation which comes with it.

So go have a look at them:
