The ITP Show finished up with some nice write-ups on the internets: ny times blog and MAKE.
About a week or so before the ITP show, my Big Screens class had their own show at the IAC Building on their rather large video wall. I’m hoping we set the world record for largest Processing sketch ever. Some photos (video coming soon):
This, as far as I know, was the first public use of the Most Pixels Ever library, which admittedly needs quite a bit of work still.
Just wanted to give a quick plug to ITP student Sinan Ascioglu’s new site: www.openprocessing.org — a community “flickr-like” site for Processing sketches. It’s terrific work and I’m hoping students in my courses will find it helpful for organizing portfolios of their work. I’m hoping to be able to help Sinan by figuring out a way to auto-generate thumbnails from uploaded Processing sketches. Seems to be the one missing piece (it’s a pain in the neck to generate those screenshots yourself). Any ideas? Post here in the comments.

My class went to test their projects on the IAC video wall this week. The works in this video are by Young Cho, Hye Ki Min, and Ji-Sun Lee. The pieces in the photos below are by Daniel Liss and Lucia Jeesun Lee. All 15 projects will be on display in December. More to come!

Going to write this up and publish the code (in conjunction with my Big Screens course) in the next couple days.

I’m pleased to announce that we’re releasing the first version of The Most Pixels Ever, an open-source Java framework for spanning Processing sketches across multiple screens (developed with Chris Kairalla). This is an early version that has many limitations and needs a great deal of improvement, but it does work. The site isn’t complete, but the source is available, and there are a couple tutorials to help get your started.
I’ll be using the library in conjunction with teaching a new class at ITP starting today!
A nice article by Peter Hall about the IAC video wall is out in the June issue of Metropolis Magazine. The article mentions our work at ITP on the “most pixels ever” Processing library . . . which we will release soon for beta experimentation!
