New Video Tests

In June I'll be performing with Joshua Churchill at Southern Exposure for the Extended Play series. In preparation for that I've carved out some time to rework my video performance system.

Pushing Pixels

Back in March, 2009 I released some GLSL shaders for Jitter that allow you to perform distortions of an image based on Optical Flow. I sort of came up with it on accident while trying to do something else, and getting distracted during my research.

MIDget board

MIDget is a simple, inexpensive sensor interface based on the AVR ATTiny26. In its current incarnation, 8 of the 11 available ADC channels are used. This means that you can connect up to eight sensors, knobs, or whatever to the board. The MIDget sends the 10-bit ADC value as 2 separate MIDI CC messages (1 for LSB, and 1 for MSB). This allows you to bypass the 7-bit resolution limitation inherent to MIDI CC messages for projects that require greater sensitivity. These 2-byte messages can be put back together inside of MaxMSP.
