Mushon - Outfoxed

For my Show & Tell spot at the Theoretical aspects of interactivity class, I would discuss some of the ideas brought up in Norbert Weiner’s ‘Cybernetics in history’ essay, concerning my thoughts about contemporary cartography and community GIS.

Here are some ideas I would like to go over in class:

this is a list of links and documentations for my first semester Introduction to Computational Media class by Shawn Van-Every. All of these projects are using Processing as a programming environment.

Final Project:
Experiments in Cartographic aesthetics

Experiment in dynamic content manipulation:
Post your bids, though it seems that the auction isn’t closing.
(Reading dynamic content from the FBI’s ‘Most Wanted Terrorists’ page)

Midterm:
Draw Your Own Border - An online DIY borders drawing tool.

Processing meets circuit board:
The Beheading of a Candle by Caravagio & Mushon (demo) & Serial
In meatspace this worked with a proximity sensor on a real candle that controlled the image gallery like in the demo.

Working with a class :
The next stop is… - a random MTA trainpath planning device (first sketches of dynamic mapping, refresh to refresh).

Extreme Coding with Terrance:
American Goverment’s Katrina Rescue-Teams Training Game (public beta) -
it’s running very slow in the browser, we guess when it’s all turned OOP it will run faster.
Use the keyboard keys and the spacebar to play.

Started experimenting with this opensource map,
