Andrew O'Malley's electronic art, music, and technology blog
Just finished a proof-of-concept video for an interactive audio/visual installation, where the audience become the performers in a room-sized drum machine with blinking lights and sychronized video:
The audio is straight from a drum machine, triggering the video in real time which is done in Processing; this initial draft shows that this is just the tip [...]
Came across this nice interview w/ Chris Liebing enthusing about digital dj’ing technology:
Although I didn’t learn anything new technology-wise, I was very pleased to learn about his great series of techno podcasts.

For whatever reason, I find the following combination of Kraftwerk’s seriousness mixed with a laugh track and a chiché plot hilarious:
The work of production is really reduction.

From Resident Advisor’s recent interview w/ Ricardo Villabolos.
Here’s a fantastic survey of embedded computing platforms, covering everything from Arduino to plug-and-play modular systems:

Makes for a really handy reference!
After encouraging results with my first Arudino project, Deb and I teamed up with Arduino again for our entry in Cube Gallery’s Nocturne show, a group exhibition dedicated to the beauty of the night sky.
As the only electronic artists in the show, we built a triptych of animated light boxes representing the stars of Orion’s [...]
I decided my participation in Ottawa Chinatown’s first Chinatown Remixed exhibition made for a great opportunity to try my hand at this whole Arduino thing. Given the front window of a local business in which to showcase a project, I envisioned an illuminated sign interacting with the pedestrian traffic out on the sidewalk.
Having already built several projects requiring a 12Vdc sequencer, such as my Prototype lamp
and my Conduit sculpture
I realized that experimenting with new projects with similar lights would be easier with a common development platform . . .
