It is kind of funny how quickly I'm willing to ditch the whole black and white thing once the sun comes out

ATTENTION PORTLAND VISUAL ARTISTS AND PERFORMERS: I'm in the early stages of planning a series of classes/meet-ups for live visuals and projection mapping and I need your feedback. The idea is to get together every month or so and have some beer/pizza/socializing, a presentation/tutorial on a topic, and maybe some general show-and-tell amongst the group (or perhaps some informal performances). The venue is already coming together and we are looking at early June right now. I was planning on doing an "Introduction to Projection Mapping using MadMapper" session for the first one, but that could change based on feedback. -Would you be interested in joining? -Do you have any friends in the area that might be interested? (If so, please message me their e-mail address for the invite) -Are you interested in MadMapper? Is that too basic? -What other topics would you be interested in hearing about? -Do you have any projects or topics that you would like to present? -If I sent out a technical package before the event with some instructions and some template project files for MadMapper / AfterEffects / C4D would you be interested in coming up with content to play during the events?

working on a real-time depth of field effect thing with the kinect. some crude first steps here, going to use a better camera feed using RGBDToolkit (this is the kinect rgb), and clean things up. thanks to ThoughtCloud for bringing up the idea. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lcHnQofiqk&feature=youtube_gdata_player

I had a great time at the show last night with King Britt and Natasha Kmeto - thanks to everyone that made it out! If anybody was at the show and recorded any video, please share and I'll repost... I didn't get to finish/use all of the tricks and effects that I had planned (as usual), but once I decided to try the whole show without using any effects I had a lot of fun with it. All I ended up using was 4 movie players, 2 mixers with basic blending modes, and 6 LFOs (mapped to the movie position and mix amounts). I had a monome 256 and lemur to control the LFOs, which seemed to work out well, but I may put in some more presets and maybe some pattern recorders to smooth things reduce the stress level a bit. Next time I'm sure I'll add back in a few shaders, but it was a great reminder that less is more with this stuff. An extra special thanks to my friends that shared videos for me to use (even exclusive ones!!)- especially Steve Teeps, Kokolores one two three, and ThoughtCloud. I am very lucky to have made such talented and generous friends in the past few months - here's to continued collaborations in 2013!

this is a total hidden gem in the max/msp examples folder. saving me SO much time.

Looking very much forward to trying out these awesome loops that my friends Steve Teeps and ThoughtCloud put together for me. Getting excited for tomorrow! I'm lucky to have such talented and generous friends... Anybody else have any loops that I may be able to use for a show tomorrow? Any recommendations for downloads? I'm using my own material as well but I'd love to feature any of my other visual friends out there. I'll be sure to give credit if any video is uploaded from the show (or any other way I can think of giving credit).
