Looking Outwards
Interaktives Fotolabor
This is called an interactive fotolabor by Dirk Donut. So I can’t tell much about what this project is about, since the descriptions are all in another language that looks suspiciously like Swedish or something. However, from watching the video, I can tell that the projection interacts with the box and what the box contains. I believe that the projection senses the box that is passed underneath it and depending on how the box is tilted, it projects different things onto the blank surface. Additionally, you can also see how the projection maps the hand as it passes through the light.
Alexander McQueen Spring 1999
Over the summer, when I visited New York, I went to the Savage Beauty exhibit showcasing the work of designer Alexander McQueen. One of the pieces that it showed was a dress created at the Spring 1999 couture show. In the video, the model begins wearing a plain white tube dress and standing on a rotating platform with two robotic arms on either side of her. The arms react to her movement and sprayed paint of the dress.
Curtain Code
On OpenProcessing, I found this really cool code for a curtain program that does a really fantastic job of mimicing real fabric. The code was written by the member BlueThen. You can interact with the curtain by dragging and clicking, tear the curtain by right clicking and dragging, and toggle the gravity of the program by hitting ‘g.’ You can reset the program with ‘r.’
