So this is a bit more refined version of the P(h)ixel. For one, the structure is now laser-cut plexi and way less embarrasing than before. Second, it allowed for the test with the latex, which, is already giving me nightmares. I’m calling this thing my-own-private-videodrome.
This is the first crapotype of the p(h)ixel: a physical pixel that reacts to changes in the environment. The pixel is part of a larger matrix that can create a low-res mapping of the environment by pushing or pulling on a flexible membrane. The first test clip is after the jump below.
Oh and for the record, I used my teeth to cut the cardboard…
Another slight variation on the image read experiment. This time, the variation is based on the mouse distance, both for images and the webcam.

This is the continuation of the image processing test driven this time by the webcam. The next step will be to make each of the cells being placed on the image be more than just an ellipse and have them be driven by the brightness of the pixels.

Reading the pixel data of an image to drive the color and scale of circles.
Next step will be to draw the webcam video using the ellipses. Now its just changing based on a random number linked to the brightness.
I’m working on my Processing skillz these days. Here are a few images of a simple recursive branch.
A photoresistor controlling the size, color, alpha and placement of the circles in processing.
Code and clip after the jump below.
