when…

Some months ago I listened to this beautiful remix by 3spds. It’s based on a record of a religious group whose 900 followers committed a mass suicide. He tells the story in a light but touching way. At the time of this recording, they believed they had found the key to happiness and equality. Next [...]

Penner easing for c++

As I said last week, I’m also using robert penner’s easing equations in openFrameworks, so I’ve ported them to c++. This has been relatively straightforward, but, as with the actionscript to java conversion, I’ve run into some nuances between languages and I’ve definitely learned the hard way (read “wasting some hours of my life”) why [...]

penner’s easing equations processing library

Being an actionscript head, I’ve frequently used rober penner’s easing equations in processing*. To avoid copy/paste each time I’ve packed them as a processing library. While I was at it, I discovered a couple of implementations (1, 2), but I was almost done, and wanted to learn how to make processing libraries anyway. So in [...]

Basically a video is divided into different portions and each of them is delayed by a certain amount of frames. Thanks to the magic of openframeworks, it is realtime video. More explanations, some code and [...]

Music and memory: A small (frustrated) last.fm project

Antecedent: A couple of months ago, having a look at some old stats in my last.fm profile, I realised how much I could remember a given time by just seeing the music I used to listen to (that old (unfinished?) project by marcos weskamp and didier hilhorst came to mind inmediately). The source: Last.fm keeps [...]
