Similar to Made of Japan, but it comes with moving images. Well, if you are my student in the Microwave’s “Procedural Animation” workshop or SCM’s “Image Processing and AR”, you have made this with Processing with exactly the same mouse interaction. This one, Eye-Project, with flash. It looks very nice!

有點兒跟Made of Japan相似, 但Eye-Project今次有Moving Images/Video. 如果你之前上過我Microwave教授的”Procedural Animation” workshop 或者SCM的 “Image Processing and AR”, 上課時你們都做過類似的練習了. 但你們用的是Processing, 人家用的是Flash. 這個Eye-Project看上去還蠻酷呢.

Awesome!

Very nice visual-sound piece, with mobile!

還記得當年的Pokia嗎? 今天成街仿製品連三星都名正言順地來個Pokia. 誓要Retro走最前.

當你覺得Pokia玩無可玩之際, Retro之流並沒有停下來.

Roger IBars的selfmadeobjects系列有反高潮之勢. 系列雖然於05年已經沒有再繼續. 但後知後覺的我卻在近來才發現這個Retro conceptualist. Sony太空alarm和Nintendo這個八十年伐的mix and match, 電子拆解重組手製control鬧鐘. 一系統火箭年代的玩物被mix and match, 重新認識和retro.

看罷Steve Jobs的Presentation, 除了覺得如果他教書一定好厲害, 還有就是希望快點一睹iPod nano的真身. 香港還未有貨, 唯有隔岸看日本的水貨吧.

從ipod第三代, 每次有新ipod出世, 東京銀座的Apple總壇都例必大排長龍. iPod nano氣勢如此逼人, 睇怕要排足幾日以霸頭位.

說回ipod nano, 這個web: http://pc.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/2005/0908/nano.htm 讓我們有先睹之快. 除了看到ipod nano的華麗包裝之外. 還當場大拆ipod nano將其內部結構來一幀寫真. 精彩的內部結構令人咋舌. 還發現原來ipod nano的記憶體是Samsung製. Sony的死敵是也. 兩面受敵, Sony呢次有排捱打.

不要因為”XML”的出現以為這又是個技術的貼文.

“In 1966 conceptual artist Dan Graham composed a language based work entitled Schema. The artwork consisted of a formal procedure for how to describe a document, or a “set of pages,” with no real reference to the content of that document. This schema, as he called it, shares a remarkable similarity with XML, invented over 30 years later.

The conceptual artists of the late 1960’s and early 1970’s were interested in the nonvisual abstraction of art and how artworks might be represented as information. Using language in a non-literary and non-poetic manner, they sought to continue the tradition of visual artists in a search for abstraction and minimalism. Many conceptual works of this time were simply words on paper, instructions, or thought experiments. Schema allowed the viewer to be aware of the material nature and structure of the document they were holding — as well as any document they might hold. Using XML, I have created a machine-readable translation of his important 1966 work.

Schema was originally published in issue 5+6 of Aspen magazine. ”
已經講得很明, 我實在找不到理由去寫幾句介紹這個實驗作品令大家更易明白. 看吧!

這個網址都收藏在我的書籤很久，自己又因為未有時間去實踐網內的實驗，索性來個公諸同好。如果有人先成功完成實驗，請必定要叫我來玩玩。

利用ipod作dj其實至ipod出世以來就一向有人想做，至第三代ipod出世及風行後即有更多人提議以至嘗試。這個部落格由日本人泡製，記載這班痴漢如何利用ipod及少量的電子學技術實踐這個podj願望。不要以為這只是個小實驗，其認真程度可及大學的研究。由整個企劃的想法，prototype，datagram，零件購買的地方及價錢至每一個組件的flow全部很清楚的詳列出來。仔細的程度足可以證明日本人在工作上的認真是痴漢名字的由來。

網頁日本英文對照，文字上不怕你看不明，只怕技術上你看不懂。但它們使用的技術都是很簡單，有心跟足step的話一定可以做到。

眼見兩部ipod加上一個被重組的五百餘元的mixer，很想弄一些好玩的電子小手作供來學期的基本電子學的學生玩玩，總好過去製作那些開燈關燈的沒用爛貨。
