living room (walk) is GREAT

thanks m bison, very nice to hear that! i spent all weekend working on something in the same general area, finishing it up now

here we go:

no one has 2 minutes, so here's the 1-second summary

Really cool tutorials on creating algorithmic gifs: https://necessarydisorder.wordpress.com/

poor Michael McKean, trapped in your NixonTrump GIF!

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!

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:

Argh, Reagan, brain not on today

OMG Karl you need to get one of these. Should we do a GoFundMe?

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

KM, have u been working for the NYT Mag??

no, i wish. has yet another namesake kicked my ass? i've already got the golden age film actor, his damned theater, the soccer player, and the 958th player selected over in the 2018 MLB draft (who i am rooting for)

ok just checking

let's see what other crap i can dredge up. it's thursday night

as the uncle turns again toward the liquor cabinet, feet scuttle toward the door at the first recognition of opportunity

this started from F for Fake, i think

sweet links, thanks!

i have no room to talk because i don't make much of anything these days

um

it's just a mockup for a sound idea but i thought it would be funny to convert it to webcomic form

i should have just posted this

Someone should replace Homer with you know who:

i have a template ready to go, but i'm sad to say i can't tell if this is supposed to be guy fieri or donald trump. what's insane is that i don't think i've ever seen guy fieri on television, and even though the thread comes up sometimes on ilx, i don't think i've read more than a handful of posts. i'm just always thinking about him, and his sushi

for now, you guessed it,

conceptual innit

not really, just a loop of a projection with an overlay of the same

the real mystery is who i was supposed to put the simpsons gif on! leeee tell meeeeee

indeed, i like your projection work.

i'm assuming he meant trump.

Our dear president, Guy Fieri!

I have a couple of lightforms at work that we haven't found a use for yet but I like to mess with from time to time. I wish I could donate one to you, Z.
They just came out with a new model that's built into the projector. Looks pretty f'n rad.

Yeah, those look really cool! It would be especially nice to not have to leave the clunky laptop attached.

seen (stolen?) in the wild

haha, it's just taken from a boingboing thing from yesterday: https://boingboing.net/2020/01/08/trump-sniffed-58-times-during.html

that GIF is now the standard boingboing image for trump being a psychotic asshole.

on boingboing, i mean. i emailed them about it last year and xeni responded, but i guess they forgot who made it again.

honestly it doesn't really matter. i got the original trump image from someone else's work and then modified it to my own ends. i didn't provide credit to the original photographer because there were a billion images of trump looking like a psychotic asshole and i just picked one. that's what boingboing is doing now. there are a billion modified images of trump looking like a psychotic asshole, and they just picked mine.
