Oops missed this - the guide is actually getting a little out of date and needs another update pass but latest is here github.com/laserpilot/G... - I will say that 1080p projectors are probably still in the good enough for 99% of use cases especially over the increased 4K cost

Another great move from the Adams team, our embarassing mayor who can't be out of office soon enough.

Sidenote - is $100 considered a decent bribe? was it jsut like a balled up pile of 20's, 5's and 1's? what were they trying to cover up with so little money? an ill timed fart?

Great ad timing on this DC tourism ad in your app @nytimes.com food! History! Raids!

What hope do we all have if Waldo can’t even find himself?

Shout out to that time in 2016 where i chopped up images of a Where's Waldo book and had @genekogan.bsky.social 's amazing ofxTSNE sort them by similarity to make a hellish Where's Waldo

I’ll be sharing it soon! Will be open source. Just working through some fps challenges and trying to get macOS working too. Definitely not something I would have attempted outside of AI tools

Wow - someone in my neighborhood doing a real deep clean this morning

Used Claude Code/Gemini to help me make a CEF browser->Spout2 simple app for Windows that ill release soon. Going to do the same for Syphon on MacOS because why not. There were old implementations of this, but most were abandoned. Let me know if this sounds useful!

Damn - Gemini Code Assist CLI is really not performing well on most coding tasks. So many syntax errors and oddball solutions. I like it as a big picture view/project manager when im out of tokens on Claude Code, but I've barely had success with it implementing working code

Ah thank you! p5.plotsvg was great to use on another open tool that I’m going to share out this week - a little song visualizer -> plot toy

GitHub - golanlevin/p5-single-line-font-resources: An archive of monoline vector fonts, and p5.js code to render them. An archive of monoline vector fonts, and p5.js code to render them. - golanlevin/p5-single-line-font-resources

cc @golan.bsky.social and their excellent p5js single line font resource github.com/golanlevin/p... - im guessing I just re-made something that already exists, but vibe coding it was fun and educational nonetheless

Sharing a new niche tool I made - Font Ozempic laserpilot.github.io/font-ozempic/ it is specifically for taking SVGs with text objects and replacing the text with a single line font (or hershey text) and letting you re-position and save the file. Meant for pen plotters #penplotter #plotterart

uncovered skies A multimedia installation designed for the “information or inspiration?” exhibition held at the Suntory Museum […]

Awesome projection technique i havent seen done this cleanly before, or only really with LCD's with polarizers removed: www.nendo.jp/en/works/unc... - they remove the polarizers from LCD projectors and then put circular polarizers on the umbrella. so nice

A regular reminder to please donate what you can/join as a member to CAN - it is a vital resource for the global media arts community and is such a special space.

I feel like all these things need to do is mention a specific artwork/project or two and many of us would be cooked.

Ohhhh shit. Never heard of this! This is a great reference

Response to the photochromic+UV laser has been awesome - thanks for everyone's support. I didn't get to share this bonkers bit of footage where the laser and camera shutter sync up briefly and it looks like the image is just drawing itself for a moment. (extra footage here youtu.be/xEo0MRYg4SY )

Omg eat shit, Cuomo. This is so exciting - congrats Mamdani!

Wow - taking a look at my ancient "How to keep an installation up 4evr" guide in 2025 with an AI lens and asking it if it can update everything and automate some stuff.

New installation tools incoming soon i guess??
(link to old guide for those unfamiliar github.com/laserpilot/I... )

Sharing some WIP footage for a new experiment that uses photochromic pigment and a custom UV laser projector. The images fade over time, allowing for an evolving canvas.

Brad Lander Detained by Masked Federal Agents Inside Immigration Court The arrest came in his latest visit to the courthouse to speak with migrants there.

A reporter from The City had overheard one agent say to another minutes before Lander’s arrest, “Do you want to arrest the Comptroller?”

Successful test composite fft plot of Ok Computer (blue=bass/green=mid/red=high). Super fun comparing whole albums like this - now just need to make the time text bigger and the plots less tedious to make

HYPERVSN - 3D Holographic Displays for Advertising, Events London-Based company. HYPERVSN 3D display technology creates cutting-edge holographic projection images with the highest resolution.

Yep! I saw it last year and it’s cool it’s still going. Those are the Hypervsn fans and they have been around for a minute hypervsn.com but they have a really solid illusion and look nice and bright. That wall is loud though hah

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen these and got a price (I forget specifics) but it was like 3-4x a normal LED panel. The panels look amazing though

Ventana – Home Ventana – More than a display. A window to the future.

These ultra thin microLED panels look crazy for large high res surfaces ventanadesign.com

Please NYC voters-for the primary- early voting opens today. rank any combo of Mamdani, Lander, Adrienne Adams, or Myrie but DO NOT rank Cuomo. Mamdani is a hope to finally get a mayor who does something for the citizens. Cuomo is a creep, an embarrassment, corrupt and scandalized NY deserves better

Working on some time series song visualizations that I can then pen plot. It’s wild how much Claude Code can help on this kind of thing - an idea I’ve had for a long while and finally got to do it

Excited to share a new update to my Creative Tech Taxonomy - I added a tab that attempts to categorize various types of interactions how they can be enabled by a sensor. It's still missing some stuff, but I've wanted to share it for a while: laserpilot.github.io/Creative_Tec...

Documentary heritage: fungal deterioration in Compact Discs - npj Heritage Science npj Heritage Science - Documentary heritage: fungal deterioration in Compact Discs

Not quite sure! It’s apparently called Geotrichum candidum - some study done on it www.nature.com/articles/s40... - it’s definitely between the layers

Showed my 5yr old the wonders of physical media this morning and discovered that there is fungus eating one of my favorite 21yr old CDs
