int LED1 = 11, LED2 = 12;
int RES1 = 0, RES2 = 1;

void setup ()
{
pinMode (LED1, OUTPUT);
pinMode (LED2, OUTPUT);
}

void loop ()
{
byte val1 = analogRead(RES1) >> 2;
byte val2 = analogRead(RES2) >> 2;

byte magic = (millis() & 0xFC0) >> 6;

digitalWrite(LED1, val1 < magic);
digitalWrite(LED2, val2 < magic);

delay(50);
}

I’ll give it a shot on Monday

Regarding the issue of the show being too packed, I don’t necessarily think the solution would be to edit out students work. As a former grad student myself (architecture – not too long ago), end of year shows are one of those things you look forward to, plus it is important to put your work out there and have the public view it, whether it is good, bad, complete, incomplete, etc. I think there has to be a better way of insuring the work gets viewed – because being such a recognized program – it will always attract a lot of people, so perhaps it is more about having more space or having the projects on display for a longer time what would take care of that issue. The show in itself is a great thing (exposure for students, open forum for ideas, etc).

Regarding the conversation I overheard, I certainly hope that’s what the student was referring to and looking in retrospect, yes, you are probably right. I will delete that segment from the post.

I agree with you that the show is way too packed and that the organizers should seriously consider narrowing down the number of projects for spatial and -perhaps more importantly- curatorial reasons. The conversation you overheard and posted is, however, a misunderstanding.

My insiders’ guess is that the student was talking about OpenFrameworks, a C++ library for “creative coding”; the OpenFrameworks platform attempts to do with C++ what Processing did for Java, making it accessible to artists, architects, and designers.

I know in depth all the projects that were developed in that platform for the show, and I can tell you that all the authors worked very hard in their own code. Perhaps the student you overheard wanted to make clear that he/she wasn’t the author of the OpenFrameworks platform, an open source project that has been developed by Zach Lieberman and Theo Watson.

I hope this very brief clarification helps nuance a bit your perception of the show.

I watched the interview after the video and something I found cool is the just do it attitude they had. But this was of course wiped away by starting the interview with -oh we ate mushrooms to do this, it cannot be translated into words etc- that’s just lame. If it cannot be translated into words, then how the hell did you tell all the people working on the project what it should look / feel / behave like? Maybe the mushrooms made you all connect to a collective unconscious where matter and energy became one seamless entity where knowledge, thought and language are infinite and words aren’t necessary. Blah.

I’m connected to a parallel collective unconscious too, where I see this:
