Raspberry Pi is all the rage as we speak and I can’t see why not. Here we have a cheap and small computer, perfectly suited for your next embedded system experiment. I remember how excited I was at the time it was publicly announced and still wasn’t available at that time. However, I didn’t know [...]

It’s been a busy month. And here are 3 projects I’ve done for Nike in the Past 3 months. All were done with Microsoft Kinect in various OS and programming environments.

Using the Kinect and a MacBook to do a gesture detection, which will trigger an Android phone to do a phone call. I call it: Gestural Automated Phone System. Done in Processing

But as with other graduates, from every universities in every countries, a big question is not “what did you do in uni?” but rather “what can I do after I finished the course?” or in short “can I get a job with this degree?” With that I have a bit of story regarding this sensitive subject.

This interactive art work look into bending the perception of realities. Which one is virtual and which one is real. Using Kinect in Processing to enable me to play with camera-based virtual reality.

On October 13-14 2011 at the Web Directions South 2011 Conference, me and my project collaborator, Phil Gough had a chance to exhibit out interactive multitouch table.

Getting trouble controlling the color for your RGB LED? No problem, use thess codes.

This post describes how I technically build the whole system for our interactive art installation “Skin”. We’re aiming to give the audience the sensation of touching the skin, that’s why we do not only give the chance to do it virtually, but also physically. That’s why we also need to have a physical aspect on the installation.

Skin, is a mixed media screen art interaction that incorporates a physical spatial installation. In the words of Juhani Pallasmaa, “As we look, the eye touches, and before we even see an object, we have already touched it and judged its weight, temperature and surface texture.” Skin, plays with the sense of touch and bring attention to the unconscious element of touch in vision and the hidden tactile experience that defines the sensuous qualities of the perceived.

So finally, after all the hassle, limited time, and any kind of obstacles, I’ve managed to finished my interactive art work and exhibited it in an exhibition named Resonance. Resonance itself is a exhibition that exhibited interactive art and video art, and this is part of Helarfest 2009. Totally, there are 11 works that displayed [...]
Now this one is more straightforward than Pd-extended. Just some easy steps. I perform this last night on My Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron on a 64-bit platform. 1. Download the .tgz Processing for Linux file that available at processing.org/download 2. Download and install the Java Runtime for Ubuntu that can be searched using Synaptic. I [...]
Beberapa waktu yang lalu saya diajak teman untuk pameran di nusubstance 209, sebuah pameran yang menampilkan instalasi dan karya-karya seni multimedia interaktif. Nampak menarik, karena saya punya sesuatu untuk dipamerkan. Namun, ketika saya tanya kapan tanggalnya, teman saya dengan enteng menjawab, 19 Oktober, yang sama dengan minggu depan! Hahaha… Padahal hingga tadi malam, alat buatan [...]

Media digital belakangan ini menjadi salah satu media yang banyak digunakan seniman untuk berekspresi. Media ini menawarkan berbagai kemudahan bagi penggunanya. Selain lebih awet, format digital juga mudah untuk direkayasa dan digabungkan dengan bentuk digital lainnya. Contohnya, video klip yang menggabungkan video dengan audio, atau game yang menggabungkan animasi, audio, algoritma, dan interaktivitas. Interaktivitas ini [...]
Beberapa waktu yang lalu saya menonton video wawancara dengan deadmau5, seorang DJ nyentrik dari Kanada yang prestasinya cukup gemilang. Dalam wawancara itu dia sempat berkata bagaimana dia bekerja sama dengan pembuat monome, sebuah kontroler yang menggunakan protokol OSC, untuk membuat monome mengendalikan Ableton Live. Pada proses itu dia berkata kalau dia juga melakukan programming dengan [...]
