It's a video installation, and most of the intellegence for generating the sound and video was done in perl. the actual heavy lifting is done in some c programs i wrote to do sound synthesis and video rendering. for dealing with the actual output formats i used the mjpegtools. I have attached a more detailed description as a pdf. (i'm not sure this list allows attachments, though, so you can view the pdf here: http://www.morelater.com/rfb.pdf) the title of the show is "ready ? fix : battery; American Memory in 1/30 second" and it is at arthouse in downtown olympia on Saturday, July 17, 2004 from 7 - 11 pm. so if you're going to lakefair, be sure to check out my show too. (arthouse is at 420B franklin, near the capitol theater. the entrance to the performance space is around back) if you want to see my source code, it's here: sound synthesis program: http://www.morelater.com/rfb/patches.tbz video rendering program: http://www.morelater.com/rfb/blitz.tbz perl scripts to do everything else: http://www.morelater.com/rfb/blast.tbz it's not at all documented at the moment, so you probably don't want to download these files just yet, but they're there if you're curious. you can obtain the source images i use from the national archives by trying every link matching this pattern: http://media.nara.gov/media/images/8/26/08-2571a.gif there is a file "pictures.txt"in "blast.tbz" that lists all the picture ids i use, one per line. to download just the pictures i use, you'll have to translate these numbers into the above format (i can't remember what i did with the perl script that does this). then my system needs the files as bzipped ppm files (you can use imagemagick or pbmplus or netpbm to convert between gifs and ppms. i used pbmplus). if you're curious, you can also go here http://www.morelater.com/picture/ to look at random images from nara. most of them will be broken since it just tries random numbers matching the above pattern. but it's a good way to get a feeling of what's available in the collection. (you may have to refresh a few times before seeing anything.) you can see the source code for this page here: http://www.morelater.com/picture/cgi.txt anyway, i hope you all can make it to my show. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
