Thanks for that! I wondered what had happened to slow it down. I altered the original image using Deepart, with a picture of static rotated four different ways as the style images to use.

there is perhaps a better thread for asking this question, but I'm looking for a simple free/cheap application to superimpose text on images (to create album covers), preferably something I can learn to work with by watching a 30 min tutorial - any recommendations? (so far using Word and MS Paint, works OK but thinking I can do better...)

GIMP is the standard free photoshop recommendation - it's a photoshop clone, and it looks like it has plenty of tutorials as well!

what platform are you looking for this on, niels? windows?
yes was looking for a Windows solutionI downloaded gimp a few years back but never got into it, might give it another try
― niels, Saturday, 28 July 2018 09:34 (five years ago) link
Paint.Net is a free app that’s like a more fleshed out Paint, decent starting point
gimp has always been oversold and undercooked imo

uh, conferencecall.biz has sort of gotten revived recently. right now there are over 100 people on there, and it hasn't been like that since early 2014. usually there are maybe 1-4 visitors, tops.

thanks! about 1/3 to 1/2 of the voices that you hear are ILXors, so that's fun too. also ILX helped me brainstorm the whole thing (77 thread link redacted), and ilxor allen/etaeoe basically revamped the entire code to make it work much, much better.

oh fuck, that's a link to a 77 thread, sorry. i'll ask the mods to remove that shortly.

i made all the images on the b-52's poll. it was fun to try to make them all reference the cover of the album they belonged to, along with some sort of reference to the title or lyrics

it's a 54 second loop. i've been thinking of how to make things where different mediums start to blend and interact with each other. like, this is edited version of what really happened, but then what if you could also set up the real physical site just like that and recreate the feeling of walking by a devoted dog...i swear all this makes sense on some level, uh. i wrote about it a bit here too

it's actually Reagan, not Trump, although I definitely see the resemblance at various point. i liked this transformation the most, even though i didn't actually use it in the video or GIF:

xp i'm really interested in using Processing with GIFs, but in a sort of different way. a long time ago i did a workshop on Arduiono/Processing and made a little device that adjusted the framerate of the GIF with a slider. the idea back then was to then replace the slider with some sort of interactive sensor-based thing so that looping images would speed up or slow down based on what in the room did. but my arduino crapped out on me soon afterward, i forgot about Processing as i got distracted with whatever shit seemed important that day, and now i don't know how any of it worked. this is a pattern!
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 19 December 2018 23:53 (five years ago) link
those tutorials are great though! i'm going to bookmark it for when i drift back into processing (i'm still focused on max/msp right now). i really liked these examples:

whoa, that looks so cool! first wave already sold out, alas. and it conspicuously doesn't mention the price anywhere on the website, but earlier promotional things said they hoped to ship it for under $1000, so...alas.
but honestly, i already have a piece of software (madmapper) which pretty much does the same thing (although it requires you to leave your laptop up and running beside the projector, which is annoying). my main problem hasn't been with not having the hardware/tech, it's been my lack of motivation. the last several months has been starting antidepressants and getting back into the working world, and that's been pretty much 95% of my waking life. but i've been relatively happier, too, so i'm not complaining too much. dunno - things have been weird
