10:00: For TEMPT

(track back to Pseudocode Homework)

Folks in the Graffiti Research Lab/ FATlab/ whatever-it's-called-these-days are working on a project that is truly awesome on so many levels. TEMPT ONE , a famous Los Angeles graffiti writer, has ALS (aka Lou Gehrig's Disease), which means at this point that he has little motor control. What these folks are working on is a device to translate tracked eye movements into brush strokes for making light graffiti. A small camera mounted on a pair of glasses tracks pupil movement, and some software (built in OpenFrameworks ) creates the visuals.

I wanted to create a pretty literal spray that allows you to sketch, spray, and spread. Playing around with damping and repulsion (spread), particles (spray), and mouse functions (sketch.). This is a work in progress but I'm just concerned more with functionality at this point more so than the aesthetic. That will be the next step.
