There is now video evidence of my brief appearance at Flash On The Beach earlier this year, currently residing on the front page of the FOTB site. I hate seeing myself on film, but fortunately the majority of the video consists of the artwork I showed (from my “Abandoned Art” Generative Art project), which is perhaps the only reason why, three months later, I can now safely watch this without cringing.
Processing, the Open Source visualisation language behind my abandonedart.org site, finally went “1.0″ yesterday (after approx 7 years in Beta). Full press release is here. Download is here.
I can’t recommend Processing enough – it’s very easy to pick up and a great way of sketching out ideas, even for non-programmers. And most of all, it puts the FUN back into coding. There’s oodles of source code on abandonedart.org if you are looking for a place to get started so go, splash around a little, you might like it.
