sound bird is an audio reactive painting being living on the screen. Sounds from the external world boost its energy and its colorful trails creates abstract sound mapping of the environment

Five prints selected from a every changing data base of live images will be printed and exhibited. This work uses processing to juxtapose news images that are changed to black and white posterized graphics and headline texts / or descriptions from the NY Times. The work will exist as an online project (itp.nyu.edu/~jz639/applet2) (this is a very very rough version of the project which is being updated all the time these days). in addition i will create prints that are 20×30 inches of selected image/text juxtapositions (single images) as well as the final grid of 12 image/text juxtapositions that represents a random sampling of the 30 images selected for the project. The next stage will be to present this as a calendar–a project that selects am image and headline to represent each day of a given month. this could be extended to 12 months but that would be a lot of images. for now i hope to display 5 images as well as the online live version of the project. I have a flash animation of how the sequence works that you can see here…(http://jodyzellen.com/oog_news/)
