First class!
After today's class I feel much better aquainted with the processing language. Without going into too much I thought I'd just put up a few sketches that I made in class.

Coding..
Hello! The purpose of this blog is as a journal for my Intro to Interactive Media class at COFA. It is a centralised location where I will post a variety of media that keep a regular record of my thoughts and artistic process throughout the semester. Lets get started!
Having completed the readings this week in 'Getting Started With Processing' I have realised two things. First of all coding is really quite confusing and secondly Processing gives you almost limitless potential with your project. I really feel that I need to get started with the concept for my "Transforming Mirror" project NOW if I am going to have any real chance of making something that the audience relates to.
I am very interested in sound and was really impressed by last year's 'glich' work where the MIDI track was played, reversed, skipped and was changed based on a combination of the user's interaction with the interface and random 'glichy' code functions. The aesthetic of the piece was very pleasing as well. I thoroughly enjoyed the lack of background, human identification and colourful MIDI notes.
Our lecturor Petra Hubanske, showed us a work by David Rokeby called 'Very Nervous System'. This really caught my attention because of the immersive interaction between the participant and the musical piece they are creating.
Something else that I am intrigued by is the XBOX Kinect. The fact that it has such accurate depth and positioning perception make it an amazing tool. Unfortunately, after talking to Petra I discovered that the current software only supports MAC OS which is unfortunate as I have a PC. Hopefully something will come up before too long and I'll be able to experiment with that as well!
Fig.1 is a screenshot of my first processing sketch where I was experimenting with drawing shapes, changing colours, stroke and layout. It really isn't that pretty but it is a start!
