Emily and I have just done a first, very small print run of the ‘Here To There’, algorithmically generated posters for children.
The prints are huge! ( A1 ) and they have amazing amount of detail.
Grab them before they’re gone: www.design-io.com/here-to-there/.
Emily Gobeille and I just completed a new installation of Funky Forest for the Art Garden exhibition at the Singapore Art Museum. Its running from now until July 18th 2010.
A project Emily Gobeille and I just finished for the March 2010 issue of Boards Magazine. An interactive story that does realtime tracking of the back and front covers of the Boards magazine to control your journey through the playful world of Rise and Fall.
You can download the software and the magazine cover here:

The source code for the project is released open source – check it out here:
Quote: “The EyeWriter has won the first FutureEverything Award. The EyeWriter has been chosen as the winner of the inaugural FutureEverything Award following an online vote by a world-wide community of FutureEverything artists and participants from the past 15 years.”
Funky Forest was featured in the latest issue of Items magazine in a piece titled “Interfaces of the Third Kind”.
Zach and I were invited to show Card Play ( a new installation we have been working on ) as part of Flux’s ‘Super 8‘ show at the Scion Space in Culver City LA.

The openFrameworks library which I develop (with Zach and Arturo) and use for my own work is featured in the excellent new O’Reilly book ‘Programming Interactivity‘ written by Joshua Noble.
Quote: “With Programming Interactivity, you’ll explore cutting-edge techniques for interaction design, and get the background and technical information you need to design, program, build, and troubleshoot your own projects. This book explains programming and electrical engineering basics, and introduces three freely available tools created specifically for artists and designers: Processing, Arduino, and OpenFrameworks.”
It comes out July 2009 so be sure to grab the first printed book on openFrameworks.
In other news a Japanese book dedicated to openFrameworks is also in the works!
