Craftivism videos

So after over 2 years, I’ve finally put my videos up from the Craftivism exhibition that I was a part of here. Enjoy

Week 7

chris — Sun, 23 Oct 2011 12:20:55 +0000

This visualisation is very similar to the previous weeks. ECO-OS is a project from i-DAT which is collecting ecological data and publishing it via an RSS feed (http://www.eco-os.org/livedata/). The visualisation is affected by the total number of light sensors being logged.

This week’s visualisation is using the Gatwick news feed (http://www.gatwickairport.com/rss/) and producing a radar screen effect using the number of times the word “delay” appears.

Week 5

So I’m returning back to the weather for this week’s project and using the speed of the wind as reported via the Arch-OS feed (http://www.arch-os.com/livedata/). The value of the windspeed sensor controls the speed with which the rectangle revolves, much like a virtual wind vane.

Lego album artwork

I have loved lego ever since I was a kid and it’s always good to see it used in a creative, unusual way….such as reproducing album covers with it. So check this out – 30 Classic Music Albums Recreated With Lego

Week 4

So this week’s makes use of the Radio 1 Mini Mix podcast (http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/radio1/r1mix/rss.xml). It takes the first track and uses the beat to draw circles or squares. The colours and level of transparency are also determined by the beat. It takes a while to load so please be patient – you might also want to turn the volume down as it also plays the track

Week 3

This week’s visualisation uses the poetry of Polly Lovell (http://pollylovellpoems.wordpress.com/feed/). A word is randomly selected from the first poem and in turn is interpreted using 10 photos from flickr. When viewed, try moving the mouse over the images.

Week 3

Week 2

chris — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 21:14:52 +0000

This week’s visualisation uses NASA’s image of the day (www.nasa.gov/rss/image_of_the_day.rss). It has 12 instances of the image all rotating on the same point to give the impression of a star.
