Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus
Well not really.. but ive always loved the latin language. Wooo doggie ive had a good run tonight!
Fun fun link madness. More and more location based awareness activities. Seems alot of folks are hittin the scene with wifi finder technology. Kinda cool really, another market we missed eh? Doh! We're crankin so much wifi juice at work i'd love to be able to tap into that sometime.
I've been GPS searching tonight, looking for a good GPS for the tablet. Found lots of links, sooo much info to absorb. April will be here before ya know and thats when our big "experiment" is set to take place. Hmmm must research!
Ever hear of Transmediale?
"The theme of transmediale.04 is Fly Utopia! In contrast, the transmediale award competition is an independent element of the festival, so that submissions to the competition can relate to the festival theme, but they don't have to. Likewise, it is possible to send in concepts, project proposals and materials about the theme, independent of the competition.
Dreams and illusions have been abandoned by our present society only on the surface. Rather, after the collapse of the 20th cenutry's grand ideologies there is once again an increasing search for concepts that point beyond the restrictions of the factual and that offer visions of the old and the new potentials of creative action. In this context, digital media, and technology in general, maintain their ambivalent image as objects of utopian hope and as signs of an impending apocalypse." gah.. kinda deep there..
I often find myself staring at this site looking for generative art applications. Ya free apps baby, I want them! Typically such applications win awards at transmediale so every year when the design community takes notice of this festival, i go hunting. And really its a hit and miss surfing session, some links go no where while others.. spawn a motherload of interesting apps, ideas and more.
Such finds like RE-CODE, pay what you feel that product is worth.. thru RE-CODE, i love the site presentation and the commericals, top notch!
Back on the pursuit of generative art apps I stumbled upon Google Synth...
"GoogleSynth uses the Google Image Search thingy to randomly grab two images as the "input" and "target" images for the algorithm. In order to do this GoogleSynth uses a large word list (about 62,000 words) and randomly selects two words from it. It then does a search with each of these words and randomly selects an image from the first page of results. If there is an error it will simply select a new word and try again. "
Sure you can say why dan why.. but hey why not! Then theres flexplorer, a program that explores website structure. And looks like traceyou is pretty cool too. Hmm more oddness in Netarium. N-Generate has been around for awhile now and is capable of producing some interesting generative art pieces. Lastly take a look at iSee.
