I’ll be teaching another workshop on creative coding at the end of the month! Join us, and learn to use Processing to create your own interactive, digital art. Details at gaffta.org.

Practice, my MFA thesis project, will be set up for you to explore this Friday in the Mission District of San Francisco.
Practice is both a work of interactive video art and a design research project.
Unlike most other works of this medium, it does not reward bodily motion and exaggerated gestures, but encourages patience and self-reflection. In so doing, it explores the tension between emotional engagement and the uncomfortable ambiguity of not knowing what will happen next.
Friday, February 12
About 9:00 – 11:00pm
16th St. and Guerrero St., NE corner (Map)
In the event of rain, the piece will be installed the next night, Saturday, 2/13.
While working on deep ocean graphics for a client, I inadvertently created something more cloud-like.

LAIKA is a new, dynamic typeface, designed and constructed by Nicolas Kunz and Michael Flückiger. The genius here is that visual elements of the face (such as weight, serif prominence, and italic degree) are reframed as parameters, into which can be fed values from any source — either your own keyboard, or something more interesting like weight or distance sensors, so the visual typographic form can respond to physical factors in an installation environment. Try it out!

It’s done! This weekend’s creating coding workshop at GAFFTA went really well, despite Loveparade’s pounding revelry just outside. In case you missed it, you can experience all 10.5 hours of coding bliss in under two minutes — just watch the video below. Also, check out some of the great projects that the students made.
