UPDATE 22 Feb 2009: I have written a new concise description of the Portrait of Mao: The Portrait of Mao is a 42 inch by 42 inch color print on archival paper. The image was generated by a Processing sketch I wrote, which reads pixel color data from an image file and replaces each pixel [...]

For my midterm project, I want to escape from the computer screen and work in a medium that has the potential to be larger format, more tactile, and less ethereal.  Using the text mirror example from Learning Processing as a departure point, I am working on a Processing program that will allow me to create [...]

This week in Intro to Computational Media @ ITP, we learned how to add text into a Processing sketch.  I used my Sakura (cherry blossom) sketch from week 3 as a departure point and added the Japanese characters for sakura さくら into the new version of the sketch (above). I wanted to create a kind [...]

In week 3 of Intro to Computational Media at ITP, we learned about functions and objects in Processing.  I also peaked ahead to arrays so I could execute my idea.  I was inspired by my t-shirt (below), which is a Japanese design of cherry blossom petals (sakura in Japanese) blowing in the wind. Here is [...]

Here is my Processing assignment from week 2 of Intro to Computational Media at ITP.  If it looks familiar, it is because I used my design from week 1 as a starting point.  Then I used variables and conditionals to animate the drawing.  Click here or on the screenshot below to view it in action.  [...]
