This is interesting in comparing code to architecture: http://1010.co.uk/code_brut.pdf I'm not sure that haskell is brutalism, but then I wouldn't know what it *would* be... alex ___ haskell-art mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lurk.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-art

I am struck by the intense terse beauty of it, and the parallel to poetry is inevitable. I am also curious to explore recursive and fractal imagery through Haskell.

Hi Claude! I guess it was you who contacted me because of my software synthesizer Assampler back in good old Amiga days. In fact Assampler is lazy functional programming emulated in an object oriented language. At that time I knew about functional programming, but not much about lazy evaluation. ___ haskell-art mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lurk.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-art

As for introductions, I mostly do audiovisual art using Pd ( http://puredata.info ). Lately (just before xmas) I got back into Haskell, having studied it to a reasonably average level of competence at university a few years ago. I wrote a Pd "external" (other software calls the concept "plugin") that allows you to add functionality to Pd using Haskell (mainly because I didn't feel like learning C, Python, or Ruby to do what I wanted), and I'll be using that for audio-visual stuff. A screenshot of the current project (in very early stages of development) is here: http://claudiusmaximus.goto10.org/gallery/coding/d01234/rev201-twofivesixspheres.png Source code for the external is here, any/all feedback appreciated: https://devel.goto10.org/listing.php?repname=maximus&path=%2Fhsext%2F&rev=0&sc=0 Creighton Hogg wrote: The paper was entirely over my head Most Haskell papers are over my head too :-/ Claude -- http://claudiusmaximus.goto10.org ___ haskell-art mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lurk.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-art
Re: [haskell-art] welcome
well, mathematics is some artform as well, or not ? At least, this is what my maths high school teacher once told us in class (the art to proof things, instead of the science of doing experiments, the boundaries might not be so clearcut however ). When starting the question: What is art ? I would say art is related to different forms of expression in general. In particular, if one "looks" at music, there would be a horizontal and a vertical component in it, time and pitch/frequency (which is also some time element... but it engages different direction of movement then the rythmic/horizontal one). Last, personally, I am very much interested in transformations of expressions. this is what might happen in classical music, some moments of joy, some moments of depressions, and sometimes happy endings, sometimes tragical endings. for sure, there is a connection between art and emotions. might it be related to (sub-)concious programming agents in our brain ? sorry if unclear but above areas made me interested to join your mailing list. --- Creighton Hogg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> schrieb: > On 2/27/07, alex <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > Hi, > > > > We have 18 members from the posting to > haskell-cafe, a comfortable > > number.

Hi, We have 18 members from the posting to haskell-cafe, a comfortable number. Subscriptions have slowed now so lets do some introductions, I'm very curious as to what people are thinking of when they join a mailing list called haskell-art :) This is an inclusive list - whether you're a fine artist or hacking up strange code for fun your contributions are very welcome. As the list has comparatively few members we can afford to not define the topic of the list too clearly I think. I'm a musician attempting to use Haskell to make music, and also do some fun experiments with visualisation of music. I'm currently trying to get my head around Rohan Drape's excellent Hsc haskell supercollider library. I'd like to use it to make a synthesiser based on simple speech synthesis techniques so that I can make sounds by manipulating English-like words. I'm also interested in electronic art in general, and am quite new to functional programming so generally enthused about as much of Haskell as I can understand...
