The weblog of Vlad Spears: musician, science fiction hero, Max/MSP/Jitter gangsta, Daevl incarnate. Currently engaged in fast action on slow sculpture, I have an ongoing love affair with animism as an approach to creativity and an affinity for all things automata, gridded or digital.

Yes, I’m in.  This is what it looks like inside The Machine.  It’s a bit smoky, true… I’m reworking the spacetime twister for greater efficiency.  Once it’s oiled up and humming properly we’ll be able to slide across dimensions like pixels in glass.

This image was grabbed from an iSight stream passed through basic frameworks in the Pirate Video app I’m currently reworking with mattbot.  The effect subpatch owes its origins to Andrew Benson‘s excellent ab.diffpass.jxs: differential filtering with decimation.  I’ve killed it, Frankensteined it, killed it yet again and brought it back to life with blurring, some offset and a few other shaders on top and this is what it spits out now: gritty noir with just a wisp of lo-bit gauze.
