			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A quick 30s project done in few week-ends to present my new website. This video represent the concept of Mighty Mess, different textures, lights, materials making analogy to diverse works in various media. All this wrapped into mystery to create the need to discover more.</p>
<p>The whole video was created in cinema4d with some post production in After Effects for the lens flairs and titles. Sound design was produced in Ableton live.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am currently working on a game for an International HIV and AIDS Charity. For that, I did some test on attraction/repulsion with <a title="Traer's physics library" href="http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~traer/physics/" target="_blank">Traer&#8217;s physics library</a> ( brilliant lib ), and obviously got carried away playing with lights and physics. The game is not going to be like that as it has to run online and on the largest panel of computers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Blow <a title="Water Lilies on Wiki" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_lily" target="_blank">water lilies</a> by blowing on your microphone ( old trick I know ).</p>
<p>Online:<br />
<a title="Online Version" href="/water-lilies-online" target="_self">WaterLilies</a> now works online.</p>
<p>Download the Full Screen version:<br />
<a href="/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/waterlilies_macosx.zip">mac osx</a> | <a href="/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/waterlilies_windows.zip">windows</a> | <a href="/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/waterlilies_linux.zip">linux</a></p>
<p>This my second try on <a href="http://www.processing.org" target="_blank">processing</a>, I was trying to understand <a title="processing reference" href="http://processing.org/reference/class.html" target="_blank">class</a>. The applet get slower after a moment but I already spend too much time on it, so I stopped there. A Class is like a object. A object have properties and/or behaviours. Like a glass for example. In processing you can create a model object ( class ), that you will use to create multiple independent objects based on the original model. I&#8217;m new to the subject so it&#8217;s best to read about object-oriented programmation <a title="java tutorial, link found at processing.org" href="http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/concepts/object.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>My example is using the <a title="ESS website" href="http://www.tree-axis.com/Ess/" target="_blank">ESS library</a> from Krister Olsson. And I help myself with <a title="The wicked Abstract Machine" href="http://www.abstractmachine.net" target="_blank">Stanley Douglas</a>&#8216; on-line <a title="Aix-en-Provence Art school website" href="http://www.ecole-art-aix.fr/rubrique81.html" target="_blank">course</a> ( French ).</p>
<p>Took me a while to find out how to sign a applet so it could work online. Here is a <a href="http://processing.org/discourse/yabb_beta/YaBB.cgi?board=Sound;action=display;num=1182948677;start=0#0" target="_blank">longer explanation</a> of the <a href="http://www.tree-axis.com/Ess/signed_applets.html" target="_blank">one</a> from Krister Olsson.</p>

// ]]&gt;</script>The <span class="highlight">MusicBox project</span> was based on finding different approach to music sequencing and/or interaction with sound. It&#8217;s a bit of a <em>must do</em> when you start programming sound and interactivity, you have to do your own little musicbox.</p>
<p>In my case I established a protocol for the design and the type of interactivity. The idea was to create movement as if those musicbox were mechanical, like old <a title="wiki definition" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_box" target="_blank">musical box</a> and <a title="wiki definition" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_roll" target="_blank">music roll</a>. So the way to make them work had to be simple and more or less complex for the render ( sound composition and &#8220;music roll&#8221; ). As for the design I tried  to always use the same type of graphic object, witch are coloured square, in a simple composition. Finally for the interactivity I chosen to only use the mouse because those MusicBox were meant to be showed only on the web, and also to reduce the physical interface to a minimum.</p>
