my personal work has been migrated to robertcarlsen.net. please visit that site for updates regarding new projects.
i've been playing with the Processing development environment for a bit and have been having fun. here is a collection of some of my experiments. these are selected projects; most new work is on the blog.
using processing, and its Java-based language is just pushing me ever closer to becoming a "real" programmer (now using eclipse with the processing libraries, and recently Pd). at the end of the day, it's not the language you may or may not know, but the work which matters.
each new experiment is another opportunity to mess with users and their environment. i'm most interested in making the interaction between the user and the program intuitive. my favorite projects are those which set up initial "rules of engagement" and then let users run amok to determine the extent of the interaction and resulting responses.
projects & sketches:
- CycleSense (blog 1 | 2). Trying to augment perception of unseen physical space with haptic feedback.

Game of Life 3D. Using the basic rules from Conway's Game of Life in a 3D environment. The challenge for me here was to track all of the cells in a one-dimensional array, for speed. Details are on the blog. Warning: some math required.
Now in color! With mutations! The color represents the age of each cell. - drawing automata. playing around with some simple rules to generate complex drawings. sketch | ellipses 10 | ellipses 31
