Woah! This was soo fun, the things people are able to create in pure data never cease to amaze me. I played on this for quite sometime, and I really enjoyed the sounds that were included already. On the bottom of the readme it says the ‘audioloops’ folder is autoloaded on startup, put any loops…

I thought the patch, a-gig-in-tokyo, was very interesting and produced some really good sounds that blended well together. I think the easy step by step on what buttons do what when pressed was very helpful and easy to learn how it works. I think this really shows how pure data allows you to do anything…

Not sure if we’re supposed to post or not. But, the pd patch we had to download was interesting. I really liked that most of the sounds reminded me of an old 8-bit game or an early CG game from the mid ’90s. It was enormously complex, I doubt that I could ever do that….

Not sure if this is considered responsive arts, but it’s cool any way. It’s done by this guy on youtube, I think his name is James Cochrane…but I digress. Here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ht96HJ01SE4&feature=player_embedded

Bobby McFerrin demonstrates the power of the pentatonic scale, using audience participation, at the event “Notes & Neurons: In Search of the Common Chorus”, from the 2009 World Science Festival, June 12, 2009.

This article made me think about how technology has changed over time. I thought of the way things used to be for my parents and grandparents and how things have changed over my lifetime. In a span of 20 years I’ve seen computers go from a green screen to something that has a crisp life…

What was interesting about the article was how he dicussed the “general dynamics” of spacial forms. It helped me realize that it has always been here on earth for many years. It can be seen just about everywhere usually in multimedia form. I can connect to this article alot because it envovles things that “everyday”…

Its fascinating how people of the 20th century try to create something that seemed impossible for them to achieve like the “virtual world”. People in the 90’s experimented the phenomenon of cyberspace by changing the media into an “electronica suburb”as Norman Klein expressed. Its funny how the military used to use the internet for video…

From the history to many different examples, Lev Manovich explained in great depth every aspect of augmented space. The essay was very difficult to read and comprehend. Once I reached the end of the essay two or three times I finally received what Manovich was telling the audience about the physical space superimposed with data that…

The Article itself was quite an eye opener to me, it revealed that data in all forms is perceived differently through the manner in which it is displayed. The article was interesting because it explained how architecture can support networks of data, which seemed like a new and exciting frontier, smart buildings that would assist…

As English is my third language, after Ukrainian and Russian, I had to look up the meaning of the word Augmented, which I found out means improved, increased, better, etc. After I finished the reading I would like to change the term augmented to the opposite of the meaning as disabling, controlled, diminishing, artificial. I…

I’m currently inhaling little tiny bits of internet that are whirring and whooshing around my dorm room. Data, images, text messages, phone conversations, music, and all other forms of digital “stuff” is hanging in the air around me, quietly invading this green earth, broken down into fragments that I often wonder are nothing more than…
