Etherwave Affair: Playing music from youtube on a Raspberry Pi
Last September, I boarded a plane from Tel Aviv to New York to start a new big period in my life. I was about to begin studying at NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program, a master’s program…
Oscillations [Processing.js]
Oscillations (click for fullscreen) is something I wrote in processing.js. It’s an experiment in iterated linear interpolations of trigonometric functions. Controls: The mouse controls the sampling frequency The up/down keys control the frequency multiplier The…
Line Permutation Camera
This is a little thing I’ve been working on for James George’s class. It’s a sketch that evolves a 2D image sequence from a single video line. Right now it uses some form of averaging,…
P5 Texture Map – A Projection Mapping addon for Processing 2.0
I released the code I used to projection-map my Inverse Kaleidoscope (documentation coming soon). P5 Texture Map is a projection mapping addon I wrote for the project. It only uses Java and Processing (no…
