Something I’m currently working on with Matt Flynn aka electronic b-b-b-b-bad-boii Sduk. The project is to develop and push a method of printing resulting in an edition of 50 prints, 12″ x 12″. Whilst much of the swing toward analogue printing methods is an attempt to capture “happy mistakes”, the digital world isn’t perfect; amongst the 0s and 1s it’s a messy place, there are mistakes there too. Using Photoshop to lose yourself three stone and gain the perfect skin complexion? Purr-leaze. Things look like they are going to turn toward fucking with code and the traditional output method of your digital console – the inkjet printer.

Here’s some of our inspiration : -

Spent yesterday playing with Processing, following this. Here’s the result; I think you have to click the app to activate it but then it should work. At the moment it only follows the mouse whilst it’s within the boundaries of the app. Purely for aesthetic; enjoy.

Currently playing around with processing.org. It claims to close the gap between programmer and artist; each programme is a ’sketch’ rather than anything else, only had it open a day or two but the potential seems vast. More on the project I’m attempting to do with it later but here’s something I did today that started out as my code going very wrong.

This ’sketch’ takes information from the latest feed on guardian.co.uk, reorders the body text placed over the header and bleeds it down the screen window. The resulting pattern from the feed dying is completely different every time The Guardian posts a new bit of news; it can take information from pretty much any RSS feed on the web too.
