- Pipilotti Rist at Boijmans
Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen is still hosting work by well known video artist Pipilotti Rist. So, grab your chance, since on the 10th of May it will all be gone again.
- Visit at Kitt Engineering
If one company embodies a large number of aspects of creative technology, it is Kitt Engineering in Enschede (surprisingly close to the UT, just across the street). They make integrated camera games for children’s playgrounds, radar trackers for football games, music walls and all kinds of interactive technology behind artistic work. Very interesting, and good [...]
- smartcreation.nl
A new initiative for incubation of creative techno-starters in Twente: http://www.smartcreation.nl/. Also the term SmartMedia features predominantly on their website :). The design of the website itself is also funny, if not that you drag yourself silly using a mouse :)
- Screen/Play Symposium at AFFF (1)
Can (fantastic) films and computer games absorb each other’s ways of storytelling? This years Amsterdam Fantastic Film Festival (AFFF) hosted a small symposium to tackle this (for a traditional film festival) daring question. In order to do so, the festival managed to form a quite varied panel of dicussion, being made up of JT Petty, [...]
- Interaction programming Challenge
So.. we’ve got this beautiful tree now, which works as a 30 pixel color display. Now it’s time to program interactive behaviour. All you need is an Arduino board with sensors that you need. Below is the example code (needs also blinkM library) included in the following zip file. So, here’s the challenge to all [...]
- Arduino + Processing: range finder
This example is build with components in our ‘Create Toolkit’. I made it last evening as exercise. A sharp distance sensor is rotated by an RC-servo. The Arduino sends sensor data to a processing application which makes a ‘radar’ like image. The processing code (with included arduino source) can be found here: arduinoscanner
- Ps2 joystick with arduino
With popularity of game controllers, also replacement parts are becoming easier to obtain. These tiny joysticks make excellent input devices for the arduino module. The only ‘problem’ is wiring. I designed a tiny PCB on which the joystick can be mounted. The PCB has a connector which plugs directly into the Arduino board. Here is [...]
- reflection(s) — .CREATE TV
During the open days I showed a number of clips, taken from corporate promotion(s), media art(s) and street projects. These clips touch upon what I consider the subject and spirit of creative technology. Since the presentation was necessarily fragmentary, a reference to the full clips, all ripped from YouTube is given in resource(s). For an [...]
- event(s) — positions in flux
In this time of technological innovation(s) and societal change(s), both artist(s) and scientist(s) need to reflect on their position(s) in institutions and their role in society. The NIMK, formely know as Montevideo, the Institute for time-based Arts, organizes a symposium positions in flux — on the changing role of the artist and institution in the [...]
