November 14 Site: Tokyo Art Beathttp://www.tokyoartbeat.com/resources/doc/tshirts#barnbrook Raye Fukuda has been a contrinuting editor to this site, it is THE site for art and design events in and around Tokyo. They recently commissioned Jonathan Barnbrook, Paul Cox, Power Graphixx, Noboru Tsubaki, and legendary Buro Destruct to do some T-shirts. July 17 Resources: X10 and Home AutomationThis is the repository for all x10 related info. x10 is the protocol for sending data over electrical lines. I have been wanting to rig up some motion sensors with a mobile flashbot that carries a mobile version of the barking dog product.

Get on their mailing list, they have a nice, slick mag they will send out to you
Resources: Computational Art, Data Visualization, Algorithmic Art, Glitch Aesthetics, PhidgetsI just looked over my blog and saw that Marius Watz posted the following info... good God. There is a conference in Oslo Norway this Fall followed by an exhibition. This is a web site and organization dedicated to everything I write about here, Generative Semantics, Flash scripting, Data Visualization, Phidgets, Lego Mindstorms (check out the touring device on the genX site), VJing wit VVVV and Jitter, Arts Entertainment Interfaces, and all things nerdy. Having some issues accessing it at the moment, else I would give a better synopsis. I am including the blog links (these are good) here as I am fast reaching the limits of MS Spaces features. I have a lot of reading ahead of me!

Artificial.dk
Your news resource for information about net art, software art, and other computer based art forms. Our mission is to promote these art forms to a broad audience because we believe they can develop and nuance our views on advanced technologies and the society they are a part of.
Data Is Nature
Dataisnature is a weblog from Paul Prudence (London) concerning personal and recreational research containing information and links covering the following topics - Robot Art, Algorithmic and Procedural Art, Computational Aesthetics, Glitch Aesthetics, Vj’ing, Video Art, Computational Archaeology and similar subjects. My impetus behind this weblog is to share and collate my findings in a central repository and publish for the benefit of interested communities. Paul writes Flash books, freelances on Flash projects, and VJ's in London.

Discovery article on Desktop Rover:
excerpts
But what really makes the Desktop Rover different is the fact that you can plug the box into your personal computer and control it with special software, giving you a little taste of what it feels like to be in NASA's mission control room.
The rover comes with Telecommander software that is easy to load on either a Windows or Mac operating system. You control it with a series of command tiles that you drag and drop onto a list. Each one of the tiles represents a one second action. For example, one instructs the rover to move its right wheels forward and keep the left stationary - steering the rover left. You can program a whole sequence of commands, hit play and watch to see if the rover makes it to your target location, just like scientists do with Spirit & Opportunity. The command sequences can be saved for playback, editing, and inserting into other sequences.
There's about a 2 second delay from the time you send the instructions to the time you can see the results on camera. Not bad considering the time delay to Mars and back can be anywhere up to 40 minutes depending on where the planets are in their orbits!
A miniature wireless video camera transmits the rover's view over low power UHF television broadcast. Any regular TV set within 30 meters (100 feet) should be able to tune in the camera footage on UHF channel 16 or 19. TIP: a good set of bunny ears help a lot. Oh, and the rover doesn't work well on top-secret covert missions. It makes way too much noise.
If the obstacle course of your home or office is not challenging enough, every Desktop Rover is equipped with an infrared laser tag system. You can switch over to a live manual control mode and compete in a mock "laser" battle with up to 4 rovers at a time. Sound effects and flashing LED's keeps track of your "ammo" and hits. After receiving 10 hits your Rover is immobilized until the next game begins.
The Desktop Rover is not only fun, but it's educational. The Telecommander software teaches the basics of computer programming. You can also take it a step further and program the rover to operate over the Internet. A quick roam around the home or office can give you peace of mind when you're away. |
