This is some of the best break dancing I have seen in awhile. The end of the video is crazy, the cops broke up the fun soon after.

This a project that I have been working on for awhile now. Finally over vacation I made some good headway. Here it is, go make some “Paper” and see how creative you are.

Update:
Project makes it to PixelMakers

Concept:
IDEA:039 (Interactive Paper) is a collaborative art project. Through interaction with a camera the artist composes a designs in time lapse. The results are then uploaded to Flickr, creating a growing “piece of paper�.


Keep in mind this is new technology. Updates will arrive as the software develops. Uploading take some time, be patient. Hopefully Flash 8.5 and AS3 will fix this problem.

The Mobile Game Mosh was at Parsons this weekend. The competition was to make a multi-player or single player game for a mobile phone in 24 hours. We chose to make the multi-player game of course. After not sleeping a wink and running into crazy coding bugs, we came out with a awesome game. We won honorable mention for best concept and for best sound.

Here is are game concept:
Gym Jungle is a multi-player mobile game played in conjunction with a large-scale, public digital gamespace. Players navigate to the top of a school gym ropes course on the larger screen by catching directional cues from dodge balls launched across each player’s handset.

Instructions given to player:
Catch the balls to plan your path. Three catches updates your location. Find the trophies for bonus points and reach the goal within your allotted (for example, 15) moves.

Additional gameplay information:
Before sending a command to the larger gameboard, the handset stores up a queue of three moves to perform in sequence. Players must “catch� the moves on their handset via the mini “dodge ball� game that then govern advantageous positioning/advancement on the large gameboard. Players must reach the top of the gameboard in a certain number of moves to receive points for that trial and are encouraged to pick up trophies along the way. Upon successful completion of a trial, the player is placed at the bottom of the map again, but the interaction on the handset increases in difficulty, i.e. the dodgeballs fly faster and the number of allotted moves is decreased. Players compete against one another for points based on number of trials completed and trophies collected. The map remains static, so players may leave or enter the game at any time, competing most closely with those who joined the game within the same timeframe.
