A good friend Adam Larson brought his class from Mass Art into the Lab today. The students were really into print work and everything design but code. I wanted to show them that code is not scary. Using the simple cosine and sine equations we created generative art based on the color of pixels for the camera. I hope that they got excited to explore the world of code and design.

We made these four using some colored object around the lab.

Turtle Cam
In the Lab we have some awesome turtles, Rock and Roll. Ryan built a new tank for them so they can swim and be free. We need to share this with the world, so we build a web cam.

Being the Lab that we are this can’t be any old web cam. So Ryan and I grabbed some motors and parts around the lab to built a completely controllable camera. Via the Arduino you can pan and tilt the camera. I used Quicktime Broadcaster which was super easy and free. I had it up and running in about 5 minutes. The only hard part was getting the signal to reach the outside world from inside a corporate network. The next step is to have an interface for the motors and camera for people to control via a web browser. I will post more when we have it online. Get ready for Rock and Roll.

The lab was just written up in Creativity magazine. Unfortuantly Creativity doesn’t let you see their articles after 7 days. They never got the memo that the internet is free.
