Had an amazing opportunity to participate in a soundwalk with Eric Leonardson of the Midwest Society for Acoustic Ecology (among many other orgs) and Christophe Preissing of NON:op. The soundwalk was called Hear Below and meandered through the underground pedestrian walkway system on a day that was below 0° above ground. My contribution included several …

Beyond the Edge video test 001.
The system has been updated to handle 10 data points (the original system only had 5) and the code is able to easily select which sensors to be reading from. This end-to-end is running over 1500 readings of all sensors. The app running the data processing also highlights the selected sensors now.
Rebuilding the Buoy Music / sonification system to better engage with updates made to the buoy with the installation of additional sensors and better utilize features of Max4Live in handling and performing the data. This was all about figuring out how to create what was a stand-alone Max patch as a Max4Live Midi instrument controller …
The OF app is being rebuilt to access data from all available buoy sensors and pass the data along as OSC data for use in Max / Max4Live (or anything else listening). This will also make it easier to utilize this system on future projects against different sets of data.
Started with a fun photo shoot @ Alluvial out in the prairie.
They call it a design practice because it takes practice. I’ve never seen a soccer player do a burpee in a game. But I can tell you as a soccer player I did thousands of them each season. It was conditioning. It conditioned my body for the cardio and muscular. It also familiarized my body …

Creativity is often about finding new relationships between things. People can work at it. However, it does take work and does not just happen on its own. Read things. Watch things. Listen to things. Have high-quality experiences. Some will have to work much harder at this than others. Inspired by Questlove’s book Creative Quest This …

These are some of the results generated by code written in processing to be used in the poster for my Design Sermon titled: Creativity is not Evenly Distributed The program writes the word “creativity” using a randomly selected font and various parameters related to kerning and tracking to generate vector files.
You can’t grind every bad into something good. You have to know when to bail.
