Created by Mario Gonzalez and currently in development, RibbonPaint is a drawing application for OSX. Instead of resorting to traditional brushes, RibbonPaint uses a ribbon like shape, always deforming as a drawing element. As you move your cursor across the screen you are continuously deforming the ribbon (the brush), trails are left behind on mouse down. Different colour modes are also included although I thought […]
Karsten Schmidt (aka toxi) has just posted 2010 showreel of “24 kicking projects” done in the past year or so using toxiclibs. Many submitted their projects, showing widespread and wide range of work created using Karsten’s open source libraries. toxiclibs is an independent, open source library collection for computational design tasks with Java & Processing (and soon other […]
Seaquence is an experimental musical petri-dish created by Ryan Alexander, Gabriel Dunne and Daniel Massey. Adopting a biological metaphor, Seaquence allows you to create and combine musical lifeforms into dynamic compositions. The way each lifeform looks and sounds is determined by the step-sequencer pattern you create, and other parameters you can tweak including their audio […]
New project by Georg Reil and Christoph Döring (previously: Fine Collection of Curious Sound Objects) comes in the form of an object that by physical touch and deformation alters animated graphics presented on a built in LED screen. Titled “Tangible – Experimental User Interface” Georg and Christoph explore experimental interface reacting to movement, rotation, tilt and […]
FORM+CODE is the latest book by Casey Reas, Chandler McWilliams + LUST and published by Princeton Architectural Press. The book offers an insight into design by code used by designers, artists and architects to explore and derive to new ways of generating and translating ideas.

Those of you who have read this blog before will know that I do most of my work using Processing, an open-source programming language that was specifically created for artists and designers. It’s easy enough that you can learn the basics a day or two, but powerful enough to use for any number of applications, ranging […]
Yesterday I made my way down to see what’s happening at the V&A for their Digital Design Weekend. Besides what is becoming a regular openFrameworks workshop at the V&A this time held by hellicar & lewis there were also a number of exibits on show. One of these was, what I can only refer to […]
Matt Pearson, aka zenbullets has just hit “publish” on the last of 100 Abandoned Artworks, a library containing 100 Processing experiments dating back to 2008, most open source and available for download. This is a wonderful collection including some very elegant and visually stunning pieces. It is also a dialogue between Matt and his new book “Generative […]

From the fields of generative design, information visualization, gaming, interactive installations, physical computing and give deep insights into the works and background. Read on for how to win […]
If you live in London then you know how dire are the digital billboards on the underground so here is a chance to change that, for two weeks at least. New collaborative “Smile for London” have just announced a contest to get your work on the London Underground’s digital screens. First and hopefully many more to come, […]
Created for Converse’s 2010 Summer campaign by Super Nature Design, “Me Wonderland” is an art installation that uses Arduino as a physical interface to control a series of light sequences and sound sensor for user interaction. ME allows us to escape our reality just in the moment of time. It illustrates the moment of what […]
