Sonic Saber game in MAX/MSP. It’s like a ‘light saber’, only sound, not light, kinda thang.

Imagine being a youngling in Star Wars learning how to fight with your lightsaber, blindfolded and having to rely completely on your audio perception to fight the laser beams being fired at you… It’s a sonic fight.. may the force be with you…

Susan Collins “Seascape” goes live!

I’ve been working with Susan Collins since 2002 on her pixel-scape images.

Her latest show was opened to the public from 4th April at the De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill-on-Sea.

This latest incarnation comes with large scale prints of the generated images and a whole new website which hosts the entire back catalogue of image-scapes from when each server was set up along with every image live as it is created over time.

Here’s a nice little video of the project from current.tv ::



There’s a review by Ken Russell in The Times newspaper
