These pages are a filtration of browserSpace covering such topics as Generative Art, Robot Art, Sound Art, Video, Actionscript, Visual Installation, VJing and AudioVisual Software. Essentially its a space to share my findings in a number of personal research areas. The diverse range of provocative and beautiful artifacts being created with machines is staggering - […]

Generative art has been defined as “any art practice where the artist creates a process, such as a set of natural language rules, a computer program, a machine, or other mechanism, which is then set to motion with some degree of autonomy contributing to or resulting in a complete work of art.” (Philip Galanter).
Generative art […]

This paper introduces a shading model for light diffusion in multi-layered translucent materials. Previous work on diffusion in translucent materials has assumed smooth semi-infinite homogeneous materials and solved for the scattering of light using a dipole diffusion approximation. This approximation breaks down in the case of thin translucent slabs and multi-layered materials. We present […]

Procedural modeling of cities.
Modeling a city poses a number of problems to computer graphics. Every urban area has a transportation network that follows population and environmental influences, and often a superimposed pattern plan. The buildings appearances follow historical, aesthetic and statutory rules. To create a virtual city, a roadmap has to be designed and a […]

Google plans to use trucks equipped with lasers and digital photographic equipment to create a realistic 3D online version of San Francisco, and eventually other major US cities.

hack a day is reporting about SplineScan, an open source, a cross platform 3D scanning tool whose expected cost is about 90 USD.

A description of how the scanner works:
While the target object is rotating on a motion controlled turntable a laser is projected on it. A camera collects images of each step of the […]

According to Windipundit, Google is releasing to selected Keyhole users a beta version of the Google Earth application.

Since it is an actual software program running on your local PC, Google Earth is much faster and smoother in rendering satellite maps of the entire Earth than GoogleMaps. It initially draws a blurred version of the region […]

Real-time motion graphics can be made by Quartz Composer in a short time. I redeveloped “The 20th Century Voyage” from scratch by using Quartz Composer. You can also drag qtz files into your screensaver folder (~/Library/Screen Savers) and use them in that way.
I can’t see the QuickTime Videos on my Windows XP machine.

I’m an artist exploring the region between art and mathematics, and this is my gallery and storefront. My work is about life in three dimensions: working with symmetry and balance, getting from a zero point to infinity, and always finding beauty in geometry.
Here you’ll find my signature designs in metal, along with 3D laser-etched […]

LED’s not only will save huge amounts of energy (they don’t yet but theoretically can) but can be used in much more sophisticated ways. Because different colours can be so easily mixed, they see opportunities galore:
-lights that change colour through the day to adjust to our bodies circadian rhythm-”
-brake lights that can communicate with the […]

Genomorama is a software program for interactively displaying multiple genomes. In this context, a genome refers to DNA sequence and an (optional) collection of annotations (indicating which DNA sub-sequences correspond to genes, RNAs, proteins etc.). Genomorama was designed to assist in comparative genomics, sequence comparison and sequence analysis. To this end, Genomorama provides a […]

A slumber light is a luminescent cube containing a photograph of a distant friend or family member that glows when that person is asleep. I designed them for a specific long distance relationship between my son, age 3 and my grandmother, age 95.
Scenario:
Sam, climbs into bed for his nighttime stories. Below his mattress is a […]

Scott Draves is looking for help:
i am seeking collaborators to add a sound-track to the electric sheep. this would be software that generated audio based on the same genetic code and also based on the images. i made a web page to explain it:

you can download a dataset for development from that page. drop […]

This spring we asked the Princeton University community to submit imagery produced in the course of research or incorporating tools and concepts from science. The response was overwhelming: more than 200 entries from nearly 100 individuals in 15 departments. We selected 55 of these works to appear in the 2005 Art of Science Exhibition.
The resulting […]

regenerative is the second part of the degenerative experiment, in which a web page became increasingly corrupted each time it was visited. in the regenerative web page, text degenerates with each visit, but it also attempts to regenerate itself by trying to extract some text from the refering page. if extraction succeeds, the new text […]
