It has a rudimentary realtime performance interface that plays the image as audio while you modify it with interrupted sorting, color-shifting, and FFTs. If the FFTs operate over a small block of pixels, it's all near-realtime; however, with these images I'm processing 1024 x 1024 pixel buffers, so they are definitely not realtime.

Re: [NetBehaviour] New Media Writing Prize
I’d agree with Edward that a focus on interactivity can be a ‘concern’ but would urge people to enter this really interesting competition. I sense - and remember the organisers saying words to the effect - that the ‘interactive’ requirement came from a desire to discourage a slew of ‘illustrated e-book/pdf’ type entries from people who didn’t understand the ‘field’ they were aiming at. They had a lot of those initially. I was fortunate to win a couple of years ago with a quite interactive piece (www.novamara.com/window) - but not all of the great works in the finals required significant interaction, and several were in the categories Dave outlines. The judging panel looks really good this year - go for it!

[NetBehaviour] Fwd: OSCILLATOR - OPEN CALL
this looked fun Begin forwarded message: From: Science Gallery i...@sciencegallery.com Subject: OSCILLATOR - OPEN CALL Date: 17 September 2012 16:34:28 GMT+01:00 To: Katherine Norman kathar...@novamara.com Reply-To: Science Gallery i...@sciencegallery.com OSCILLATOR 07:02:13 – 14:04:13 ___ AN INTERACTIVE EXHIBITION AT SCIENCE GALLERY, TRINITY COLLEGE DUBLIN EXPLORING THE VIBRANT VIBRATORY WORLD OF OSCILLATORS, OSCILLATIONS AND FEEDBACK. Call for Proposals Science Gallery at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland is seeking proposals for an upcoming major exhibition OSCILLATOR Call Opens: 4th SEPTEMBER Call Closes: 12th OCTOBER Exhibition duration: 7th FEBRUARY 2013 – 14th APRIL 2013 Calling all vibratory beings! Electron wizards, mega-nano-nauts, chemical visionaries, code infinitizers, pendular kineticists, sleep cycle sleuths, and feedback fetishists. OSCILLATOR is a curated exhibition exploring the vibrant vibratory world of oscillators, oscillations, and feedback. This diverse, interactive show will feature installations and demonstrations ranging from cyclical chemical reactions and swinging bridges to out of control automated pricing schemes and el Niño. We are interested in oscillatory explorations from many different fields and genres, including chemistry, physics, astronomy, earth sciences, biology, mechanics, neurology, mathematics, logic, and the arts. EXHIBITION OVERVIEW: Oscillators are ubiquitous, both in human-made systems and in physical, biological, and informational processes. They arise, either by design or by accident, in the presence of interconnected parts and feedback paths. Sometimes they’re a critical component, essential to the correct function of a system, other times they might be a curiosity or a nuisance, or even a catastrophic force. The exhibition will use the idea of the oscillator to bring together a brain-shaking array of experiments, interactive activities, and artworks. Potential oscillations include: self-oscillating chemical systems like the color/pattern generating Belousov-Zhabotinksii reaction and the mercury beating heart biological oscillators like the ubiquitous circadian rhythms found in nearly all lifeforms, the electric fields created by the ghost knifefish to aid in navigation and communication, the great synchronized choruses of various amphibians, and the complex rhythmic patterns found in human brainwaves oscillatory physical phenomena like the chaotic motions of coupled and multiply articulated pendulums, the marvels of self-assembling nano materials, and disastrous sympathetic resonance in bridges, and buildings geophysical phenomena like el Niño and other weather patterns, continental drift, and cyclical eruptions in geysers and volcanoes math/logic/CS procedures and techniques for creating and probing oscillations, like digital waveform generation, logical games, brain teasers and tautologies, and pseudo random number generators repetitive and oscillating systems used in music, dance, and the visual arts, like guitar feedback, pattern music, cyclical dance forms, and tiling patterns cultural feedback and oscillations like memes, fads, and sampling and reuse Curator and Advisors: Douglas Irving Repetto is an artist and teacher. His work, including sculpture, installation, performance, recordings, and software is presented internationally. He is the founder of a number of art/community-oriented groups including dorkbot: people doing strange things with electricity, ArtBots: The Robot Talent Show, organism: making art with living systems, and the music-dsp mailing list and website. Douglas is Director of Research at the Columbia University Computer Music Center and lives in New York City. Funding We welcome projects that come with external funding. The maximum amount of budgetary support available for each approved application is €5,000. Each project must be delivered within this maximum production budget, which should include all fees, materials, shipping and travel costs as well as any other cost that may arise from participation in OSCILLATOR. Please note that the production budget available for event and workshop based proposals is significantly less and support will be given on a case-by-case basis.

Re: [NetBehaviour] Dr Hairy wins an award!
I agree!

In my ordinary life as a Practice Manager, I and Dr David Hindmarsh (the doctor I work for) have co-authored a book, rather boringly called Professional Development for Appraisal and Revalidation (The Dr Hairy Workbook), which was published earlier this year by Scion Publishing (http://www.scionpublishing.com/shop/product_display.asp?productid=9781904842972). It includes a DVD with all the Dr Hairy videos on it, plus questions about the videos and lots of exercises designed to help GPs with their reflective learning. A couple of months ago we learned that the book had been shortlisted for the Primary Care category in this year's BMA (British Medical Association) book awards. Our first reaction was that there were probably only two or three entries in the category, so the shortlisting might not be much of an achievement; but on further inquiry we learnt that there were actually 23 entries, of which only three had been shortlisted. Rather flattering, but we still thought we hadn't got a hope of winning, because the tone of the book is very similar to the tone of the Dr Hairy videos - rude, tongue-in-cheek, and disrespectful towards the medical establishment. Hardly likely to find favour with a fuddy-duddy organisation like the BMA, we thought. But the BMA are obviously less fuddy-duddy than we gave them credit for, because last night I attended the BMA Book Awards, and we won the Primary Care category! I almost fell off my chair when they announced it. I was the only one there, too: David's on holiday in Devon, and there was no sign of our publisher; although he must have found out about it somehow, because his website is already carrying the news. Unfortunately there isn't a big cash prize, but all the same I can't deny that I felt extremely pleased with myself, and still do.
