SOME RANDOM DUDE

I had a serious chill-out session this weekend, hence the late posting for the weekly links. It is definitely lacking in some areas, but there are still plenty of worthy links to check out.

Enjoy the links.

Yesterday, I added functionality to my video color sampler experiment to have the ability to pull YouTube videos. This was the last piece of functionality I wanted to add to this system before I really start doing some visual/motion exploration. The feature was extremely simple to add (two or three minutes of work) - but it makes this project extremely more interesting from a public interaction perspective. I already have some ideas for public installation projects I will start to consider working on since the time and materials would theoretically be very minimal.

Not too long ago, I posted a Flash experiment where I sampled video color data to create real-time visualizations (by the way, feel free to download the base code). I have yet to really spend time on the visual treatment of this technique - instead playing with more technical aspects to expand the potential of what can be done creatively. I am truly looking forward to experiment in more interesting visual/motion treatments, but first things first...
