The past month I’ve been working on my landscape animation. By chance I discovered a great book by Daniel Shiffman called The nature of code. The book explains how to convert natural forces into code. I’m working through the book picking the forces and algorithms that suit my needs. So far the noise function in […]

Virtual View: colour pallet
I’ve written a little program to create a colour pallet for my landscapes. At the moment I’m studying articles on animation. Again they lead me to Japanese and Chinese drawing and block printing. I wasn’t planning to go there but there is such a strong link between my views on nature and eastern religious and […]
everyday code
This is a picture of the code for watering my plants while I’m away. Wiljan is going to take of it, I’ll hand him this note so he knows when to water my plants 😉
Non-emissive displays v2
The last couple of weeks I’ve been continuously working on the wiring of the displays. The first challenge was to prevent the naked wires touching the conductive fabric underneath. In the morning I had another brain wave: I should isolate the wires instead of the fabric. After talking to the salesman in my favourite electronics […]
Closure
I’m working towards the closure of the demo version. The tailor had finished last week and most of the wiring was done. With all the custom print boards the vest has turned out rather stiff and armour like. Not very comfortable… The boards are a little bigger than expected and the flat cables that connect […]
Death by deadline?
I’m on the train to Den Bosch to meet my tailor and finish the fabric side of the vest. At least, I hope so because the deadline is fixed. This weekend, weather permitting, I’ll be shooting the video. The demo version of the vest must be working then. The last couple of weeks I’ve been […]
Day by day
I’ve just finished the interface for browsing the work day by day. It took much more time then anticipated. This was because as soon as I jumped to another day the program started slowing down to an unacceptable level. I had to figure out why that happened before I could carry on. Finding that out […]
It works!
I’ve made myself very happy tonight. I decided to write the code that invents the data from the Suunto watch, that was lost yesterday. I wanted the date and times to be right but the beats per minute would just be 10 everywhere. The strangest thing happened when I was programming. I didn’t understand quite […]
Happy
I’ve managed to code my first heart-rate graphic. And it’s CUTE! By looping through the big data file I can isolate the heart-beats, take the different values to draw lines and put in the dots at the right coordinates. The next step is to draw a big graph in Flash and move it to the […]
Meeting at Barbara’s
26-06-2008 from 11-15.30 @ Barbara’s, present: Anja, Barbara, Danielle (from 11:45) We had a great time testing the new heart-rate sensorand combining our results into a graph. Our heart-rates varied from 61 to 84 (we had the Suunto watch as a back-up) but although the graphs looked very different when we counted the dents the […]
