Tampere building projections
Following on from the Pixelache Urban Projection Lab, we were invited to take part in the Tampere Architecture Week “Night of Lights” to brighten up a dark November Finnish evening.

Piksel 2010 (un)stable
Piksel 2010 (un)stable was the 8th piksel, and the second time I’ve been lucky enough to participate. I was there to present Naked on Pluto and general livecoding duties. I didn’t have as much time or energy to get involved with the other things going on as I’d have liked, so this is mainly a…

The idea is that they may serve as…

Al Jazari bootable USB version
I’ve been preparing an Al Jazari installation (split screen, 4 player livecoding action) for the funware exhibition at MU – part of the STRP festival. Due to various difficulties with my nordic location, we’ve decided to try getting it running on a bootable USB stick, which I can send via post, and can be run…

Livecoding @ AltParty
AltParty was really impressive. I love how in Finland the demo scene is vibrant and branching out to new areas. This is ESA Mars researcher and Winner of 2009 Move An Asteroid Competition Sini Merikallio describing how a solar sail works: There were lots of people doing new things with old tech, hardware hacking and…

Naked on Pluto residency @ BALTAN
The residency we did in september at NIMk was almost exclusively using paper and pens as we were working together to design our game world. We could go for walks while thinking, and mostly keep to analogue methods. This residency was very different – naturally at this stage focused on the software, we started with…

manSEDANse 2010
I took a little train journey up to Tampere to present pure:dyne and fluxus and introduce livecoding in the manSEDANse festival. I couldn’t stay for as long as I wanted, but managed to get some pictures of the exhibition they were showing as part of the festival. KOKOMYS: ELECTRONIC DEVICES – Four port NAND synthesizer…
