My good friend Josh Goldberg organized a great event this weekend. The name of the night was Cognitive Resonance, the venue was Monkey Town in Brooklyn. I performed with Dave Della Costa, he built his sound live using SuperCollider and I built and application coded with openFrameworks.

The app load a series of type images that I created. They are analyzed in realtime in order to fide the whole words and then each individual letter. I created many particle system that react to the each letter. I hope to work on the piece some more and do more of these events. Thanks Josh for getting this together, next stop Boston.

Just got back from any amazing trip. Dani and I traveled to Europe for two weeks stopping in Paris, Belgium, then Amsterdam. Paris was beautiful with all the little parks and places to just sit and relax.

We rode bikes to get everywhere and anywhere. Paris has this amazing system for renting bikes. You can grab a bike at any station (about every 300 meters) ride for a half hour and then park it for free.

I loved to play in the parks it was a blast.

We found this really really steep hill one day, Dani though it was a great idea to climb. I couldn’t have agreed more. The funny thing was when she got up she couldn’t get back down. Don’t worry though I was there to save her, this was one steep hill.

After a great stay in Paris we were off for Belgium. I couldn’t wait to get there. I was just dreaming of beer and waffles.

We stayed in Brugge right next to Brussels. Brugge was without a doubt the most beautiful place I have ever been to. It was this great little city, so old with the friendliest people. We stayed in this hostel called Snuffel I loved it. We met some of the greatest people, great times and good talks.

The beer was an art there, I couldn’t get enough. It was so fresh, so crisp, so tasty. After a great time in Brugge we were off to Amsterdam. This was going to be the party of the trip, and my last stop. We tried to do it all in the little time we had. At the time we were there it was Europe’s vacation time, so it was packed and crazy.

You could pee in the streets while tons would just watch. They had these urinals only on weekends.

There were more bike on the street the cars, it was great. You had to look all around you when walking. With people walking bikes, cars, and trams running in all directions its busy. Amsterdam was a blast. This was a great trip, I realize that I need to do more. It is essential.

The lab was just written up in Creativity magazine. Unfortuantly Creativity doesn’t let you see their articles after 7 days. They never got the memo that the internet is free.

I hooked up a RFID reader to OpenFrameworks today. It works amazingly, can’t wait to get something together. We have some idea!

Using cvCanny(…) working on some pixel transformation, the definition of canny is funny.

Posted a reel of some current work check it out.

These creatures are attracted to people; they are curious. As you get closer they will jump out and have a taste. This piece is projected over a stairwell 10′x18′.

This is a project built with Ryan Habbyshaw. The piece allows you to be someone or something else for a moment. As the user walks by the piece finds their face and eyes replacing them with a new image. It is so priceless watching peoples reaction as Yoda shows up as their face. I love this project.
