What you see here is the view from my window.  I’m in the top level of a turn-of-the-19th-century firehouse, in Burlington Vermont.  The old structure has been converted into a downtown center for the arts, and at the moment the entire ground floor has been transformed into a stylish arcade of some of the most [...]

It’s been a while, hasn’t it?
I’m back in Montreal (though I’m now actually in Austin, which should (and will) be a whole ‘nother post) where I’m doing research in the Technoculture Art and Games research group at Hexagram – Concordia.  I’m working with Jason Camlot in the English department to design an experimental game inspired [...]

Oh boy.  These last three weeks were whirlwind.  The residency is done, and the final show was Friday!  I will be finishing the documentation later this month, and until then I have at least a few tidbits to share.  First, a video by Damien from his mid October visit with Anderson and Kelly.  In front [...]

I’m using the fantastic new book Learning Processing as my tutorial into [...]

Here’s the latest version of the first Live Game Code data visualizer, the “diffstream”  – it converts the code from revision to revision, into an animation of its organic growth.

In September and October, I’ll be Artist in Residence at the Subotron Shop in Vienna, Austria!   Subotron is a museum and store in the heart of Vienna’s Quartier21 (MuseumsQuarter) that specializes in game and pop culture history and memoribilia.  I’ll be working on my Live Game Code project, teaching [...]
