Homework 1
a) create 5 "pixel" based images via code, preferably using 5 different languages or environments. For example, you could write php or javascript that rendered elements as pixels (as in the389.com). Keep it simple, and try to have fun.
1. PHP + Last.fm API
Writes my last.fm username with my top artists' album artwork as pixels. Click on the image to view it online.
2. HTML + JavaScript
Uses browser input elements to create a mushroom from Super Mario. Click on the image to view.
3. Processing
Generates a field of pixels that change color and seem animated. Click on the image to view.
4. Flash
Generates abstract, icon-like pixel art.
5. OpenFrameworks
Uses FFT to create random colored bouncing pixels.
c) Find your top favorite 5 examples of "software that sees." Especially think about aesthetically interesting works. Provide an image and link for each.
1. Bodypaint
2. Scrapple
3. Interactive Windows
4. Funky Forest
5. Pi @ Glastonbury
