I&#8217;m working with a friend of mine who was the EP at Digital Kitchen New York on a few projects that bring together motion and interactive.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>=<\/p>\n<p>This one is a visualization exercise &#8211; I attached a board. It&#8217;s a two stage process. In the first stage, the Processing sketch parses an RSS feed, and visualizes the posts over time. The second stage is where it gets kind of interesting &#8211; here, the Processing sketch looks at the blog posts from stage one as &#8220;data food&#8221; &#8211; in areas of the screen that are &#8220;food rich&#8221; &#8211; where there were a lot of posts &#8211; the sketch kicks of a generative L-system process, growing tree like forms away from the center visualization.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So it&#8217;s a cool little exploration of how the data that makes up our lives &#8211; in this case, our RSS feeds &#8211; can serve as the basis for a generative process &#8211; producing a kind of unique, living, data fingerprint for each feed.<\/p>\n<p>The other thing I should point out is that a significant part of the project has been built. We&#8217;ve been working with another Processing artist who was able to get through most of the tricky stuff in stage one &#8211; parsing and mostly visualizing the RSS feed. He had to leave the project due to a personal emergency, but his code gives a solid foundation.<\/p>\n<p>I can give you more details, but that&#8217;s the basic overview. It should be a cool little piece. We&#8217;re looking for someone who can help us wrap this up in the next few weeks. Ideally, it&#8217;d be someone with a good background in motion and L-systems. The most important thing, of course is the usual &#8211; reliable, availability to work now, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone you could suggest would be a huge help!<\/p>\n<p>Thanks,<\/p>\n<p>Elliot<\/p>\n<div style=\"3D=\"><span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span><strong><span>From:<\/span><\/strong> Molly Schwartz &lt;hello@phlea.tv&gt;<strong><span>To:<\/span><\/strong> Elliot Blanchard &lt;elliot@roya=<br \/> lcolornetwork.com&gt;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><strong><span>Sent:<\/span><\/strong> Fri, March 26, 2010 10:39:50 AM<br \/><strong><span>Subject:<\/span><\/strong> Re:Know any processing artists in your program?<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Hi Eliot,<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m learning it now, it&#8217;s so fun&#8230; there are a bunch of amazing &amp; more experienced processing artists here.=A0 Do you want to send me an email w\/ the info &amp; I&#8217;ll forward it along.<\/p>\n<p>Where are you working?<\/p>\n<p>Molly<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A friend of mine is looking for a good processing artist, to finish work on a visualization.
