Go with the Flow (by Filippo Cuttica)
Go with the Flow is a new way to visualize email. Built of tubes and wires, the contraption filters your incoming emails into three cylinders – work, family, and friends – and colours them accordingly. That’s kind of neat on its own, but here’s where it gets interesting: you actually haven’t received any emails yet. They’re just backed up and chillin’. To receive emails, you operate valves beneath each tube, allowing water to trickle down into a physical inbox. Depending on how far you’ve opened a valve, you’ll receive a proportional amount of emails from that category.
scan processor studies (excerpts pt.1)
The source materials were generated by Woody using a Rutt-Etra Scan Processor in the 1970’s and sat on a shelf for years, having been recently digitized. Woody came into my studio one day and asked me if I would be interested in using them to work on a collaboration, and the project began from there…
no. 20 puts me in the mood for some raster-noton.

cyoa - visualizing choose your own adventure
His quip was accurate in that the analysis of these sorts of systems takes the form of drawing out diagrams of transitions between ‘states’. This is useful primarily because humans are so bad at recognizing patterns in tables of subtly coordinated data and so good at it when the information is represented spatially. So if the CYOA books are just another FSM, it should be possible to use some of the same techniques to examine their structure.
Mir Nodes - Murcof (live at Montreux feat. Eric Truffaz on the trompet and Talvin Singh on the tablas).
Inspired by the concept of nodes by Jared Tarbel. This experiment is autonomous, that mean that it doesn’t need any input from me.
The concept is really simple; if a certain distance is detected between two particle, there is a communication. Here I think it’s the more basic communication: the particles simply attract each others. I just add to this concept the fact that each particles represent a certain frequency of the sound spectrum and those frequencies change the size and the influence area of each particles. So the more the frequency of one particle is high, the more the influence area will be big.
