Processing

The brains behind the wonderful, easy to use, and open, Processing programming language have just realsed an update. Processing is now at version 127. I can not stress how much I love this intitiative. Processing can be used with the Arduino to make interesting interactive works of art.

A million billion trillion LCD Screens

So during my normal search for artistic programming applications and possibilities, I stumble across this interesting idea. Vision as the bugs see; this new compound eye has endless possibilities. Alas my dream is a reality. If you have not already come across this in your internet travels, you should know about the delight that is Processing.org. This little programming environment is an excellent way to learn programming and a wonderful tool for artists. Anything and everything are possibilities, interact with the Arduino, Bluetooth, Serial Communications, Trigger Textile-Based works or use Textiles to trigger your program. Oh how I love being uninhibited, programatically speaking of course. Alas you ask what is the point of all this, the "Eye" yes. Has one, two, three, four or even five screens just not been enough. Need to keep up with the Jones' well your in luck. Be the envy of all your friends and neighbours when you show them your Matrix-esque wall of light. Here is the link. Linked with Processing you can now output your eccentric creations ad-infinitum or more simply put in multiplicity.

Before you fling yourself into the amalgam of this digital utopia I call Processing.org, take a minute to look at the other projects that are currently underway at the website.

The future is limitless.
