A series of links to useful resources for creating interactive installations using non contact sensing. Thursday, February 23, 2006. Small profile computing hardware is ideal for standalone interactive applications or special interfaces. The small format PICS and Atmel microchips are fantastic, but there are boards being produced with more bits, aimed at producing applications that are perhaps easier to develop. Alternative micro computing boards - open source too and uses the language " processing.

Wednesday, January 18, 2006. Artists, Technologies, Organisations and Competitions. There is a wide gap between artists that utilise technology as a medium for expression and technologists who use art as a medium for communication, and then there are the corporations that use art as a cool front. Mind the gap - watch out for academic arscience, hidden agendas and the Emperors New Clothes. Links: (the larger and more well known organisations are listed at the end - ars electronica, MIT et al).

Research Artist in Residence (RAiR). Friday, June 02, 2006. I have just moved into my new experimental art research lab! No longer the 6th floor of AT but now in Buccleuch place - a quirky eccentric space, perfect, with echoes of a past. I am planning on having open days, when I have some working experiments!

Research Artist in Residence (RAiR). Tuesday, July 11, 2006. Link: Art and Research inspired by Gordon Pask. An eccentric, a genius. he dismissed the digital computer as a kind of kinematic "magic lantern" (wikepedia). Alternatives to the digital/Von-Neumann/Turing computability, Concurrence, Analogy, Intelligent Actors, Conversational Theory, Kinematics and Kinetics are some of the strands inherent in Paskian philosophy. Pask was an artist, a performer, in 1956 he created the Musicolour keyboard. The so...

A series of links to useful resources for creating interactive installations using non contact sensing. Monday, July 17, 2006. The conversion of data traffic into audio representations - types of data, speed, events - converted into an ambient and informative sonic landscape. This notion was first suggested to us by Paul Anderson of Informatics who gave me the reference to Peep. An OS package that converts data events into bird song and ambient sounds of water and rain. MP3 audio sample of Peep.

Tuesday, December 20, 2005. A list of artists, inventors, thinkers I admire, respect and have been influenced by . Inventor of AC, challenged Edison over DC (the electric chair story), had wild dreams - electricity for free! Died poor alone and penniless - gave away all his patents in order to continue his transmission of electricity through the air experiments. Wonderous and transformational light experiences. The Levity.com alchemical resource website. Some Modern Folk I like! Posted by rb at 12:43 PM.
