Today we had the privilege of having Jonathan Harris talk to us during Nature of Code class.
He is a Computer Scientist/Artist who has done some amazing work mainly focused on data aggregation and visualization.
These were my favorite two:
Universe – an interface that looks at news on the internet
We Feel Fine – an aggregator of blog entries that talk about how the blogger feels
In the light of that, I am going to use this blog entry to test his software…
I feel amazed and in awe of the human creativity, where we think everything has been invented and then someone shows up with a brand new way of looking at the world.
Let’s see if We Feel Fine catches this entry 🙂
Self Conscious
Expanding Interactive Video – midterm
– Sitting with back to the audience, head down, eyes closed
– Eye Tracking gear on (one camera on my eye and one facing forward)
– Laptop in hand
– Ask everyone to turn on their own web cams and arrange them so people behind can see each others screens
– Music starts
– Fades from black to image of my eyes opening
– Turn and face the audience
– Start mixing the video reacting to the music
We used a software called Isosurf – normally used for MRIs.
The inputs are basic images of each cross section of the final 3D model.
Out assignment was to come up with a series of images to feed into Isosurf to come up with abstract and unexpected forms.
Here is the result.
Play with adding Fishes (press M) or adding Flies (B) 🙂
Midterm project.
The idea is to illustrate the “Rich get richer” phenomena. The fish eat the flies and get bigger, and therefore can jump higher and stay longer in the air. The fish that don’t eat get smaller and eventually die.
