Glitchometry piece I made in my new Glitchometry process, developed at Alfred's IEA. It uses larger files for more detail, and fewer steps, meaning the original symbol is more recognizable.

A couple weeks back I was up at Alfred, doing a residency to work on my Glitchometry series. Devin Henry wrote up the work and included some images from the week here.

Another set of databent stripes from my time at Alfred. Like the other, this was created by applying sound effects (very long-period delay and flanger) to an image of black & white stripes. Second image is a close-up.

Rank voting has started for Rhizome Commissions 2013. Please consider my project Light Pattern. Light Pattern is a programming language that uses a series of photographs, rather than text in a file, as source code.
Programming languages are denotative, lacking much of the nuance and bodily gesture of human expression — it is a negotiation between human thinking and computer logic. Light Pattern explores the way we communicate with the machine and the influence it has on the way we think.
I will construct an apparatus (similar to the prototype above) which will take photographs to build Light Pattern programs. The subjects of the photos will unwittingly supply aspects of human communication lacking in our expressions to the machine.

I wrote a piece on the esolang Brainfuck for Media-N Journal (NMC), to explore my thoughts on programming languages as art and to serve as a gentle intro to the notorious language for people new to programming.
"Programming languages are perhaps the most direct conduit between human and machine: here our commands translate into machine instructions. Brainfuck, a programming language created in 1993, uses this process of translation to explore the breakdown of communication and expose how computers train us to think. It is an experiential piece rather than a practical tool to create working programs. This paper will explore what brainfuck tells us about our relationship with computers and how programming languages can function as immersive works."

What you get when you apply delay and flanger effects to an image of black and white stripes. This is a very slooooow delay forming the longer curves.

Psyched to have my Dither Study design on Anthony's credit card this month!
