ars electronica (next idea 2011)

LIGHT FUN

When something shines,
What comes to mind?

With respect to time,
What thoughts do you find?

Think of day, think of night,
Think of heat, think of light.

Think of on, think of off,
Think of hard, think of soft.

Think of dark[ness], think of sheen,
Think of white, think of green.

Think of cold, think of warm,
Think of shape, think of form.

Within are the graphics created and a selection of photos taken for a motion piece submitted to the 2011 Prix ARS Electronica [THE NEXT IDEA] competition.

MIRROR MIRROR

As I am wont to experiment with abstraction, I used the wave formula to propagate various effects while engaging the webcam as a mirror. As far as interaction is concerned, it probably wasn't the best thing to do; it would be hard for anyone who used the mirror to detect how they were effecting it. But, it was fun. However, for one of my non-abstracted mirrors, I did manage to create an RGB mirror that "prints" CMYK. The further away one moves from the webcam, the mirror's color gamut changes from RGB to CMYK.

BATF

For fun, I revisited a previous project and redesigned an identity for the Brooklyn AIDS Task Force. The logo recalls the map of Brooklyn, highlighting Flatbush Avenue and the organization's central location. In addition, enclosed is an annual report for which it was important to correlate the strength and vulnerability within the human body with the strength and the vulnerablity in the local community.
