super mario spacetime organ (illucia & soundplane) from paperkettle on Vimeo.

Ok We all love Super Mario but this is taking it way beyond. Audio, visual, data all being hacked and manipulated in real time. Loving it.

Another Interesting work from Yoon Chung Han

Virtual Pottery is an interactive audiovisual piece that uses hand gesture to create 3d pottery objects and sound shape. Under the Opti track motion capture (Rigid body) system in TransLab, UCSB, users can take a glove with attached trackers, move the hand in x,y,z axis and create their own sound potteries. Users can also save their potteries and arrange it on the musical score interface in order to create continuous musical compositions.

DIN is noise is a software synthesizer that tears the domination of the notation system apart. In its microtonal keyboard, every pixel is a tone that stretches from 20 Hz – 20 kHz . DIN is part graphical interface and part live coding, offering the flexibility to switch between the command mode and gui. Very exciting if you ask me, unfortunately, it only works in GNU/Linux.

This is a little dated but the work itself is not. On the Fly is a commissioned work by Yamaguchi Center for Arts and Media for the Minimum Interface Exhibition that looks at Future of Interfaces. On the Fly is the navigation interface for the exhibition. Audiences are presented with a flyer that interacts with a camera tracking system to function as a navigation tool.

Invisible City is a result of a workshop in The Master of Advanced Studies in CAAD at ETH in Zurich, not much information is given on this but it is probably a processing workshop that looks at generative processes in architecture/urbanism.
This particular work looks at a generative approach in city planning and it does seem really interesting to me.

Alvin Chua a.k.a Alvin.C is a creative technologist and PhD student at KU Leuven, Belgium. Interestingly, we went to the same schools (Temasek Design School, Interactive Media Design and Lasalle College of the Arts, Interactive Arts) and the same courses. Being one of the rare few who managed to make the transition from designer to creative programmer, researcher in singapore, I invited him to share his experiences with us.

I remember that as a teenager, I played this really great game by the name of “Uncharted Waters”
which allows you to explore the world as an explorer or make your fame as a pirate.
That was really attractive for me because it was based on a world map (8bit!). Now Google just revived
that memory and excitement for me with the Google 8bit World Map. Apparently, this is an elaborate (the best online so far) april’s fool joke. No such cartridge exists but this does not discount the awesomeness of the map itself.
