Although I can’t make it to ZERO1 this year in San Jose, I did contribute to a piece at the San Jose Museum of Art.

It’s called Love Disorder and it’s by Bruce Charlesworth with Colleen Ludwig. It’s an interactive video installation at the 01SJ Biennial: Superlight. Colleen and Bruce asked me to develop the interactive system, which includes a tracking system, and custom video player.

It will be on exhibition at the San Jose Museum of Art, May 10 - August 30, 2008

This last week has been a flurry of activity in preparation for a group show tomorrow at the Kitchen Budapest. While battling a touch of the Hungarian Flu, I’ve contributed to several group projects and made some updates to Urban Echo. I will post a summary of the projects and the group later this weekend. In the mean time, here is a smoke and fire simulation I created for a Processing/WiiMote game we are demoing on Saturday.

The simulation consists of a hacked particle engine that uses random fire textures from a bunch of sources across the web. The texture colors change with time, eventually dying off as smoky textures. Here’s a picture and a link to the OpenGL-based applet and source.

Find the Processing sketch here.
