Last weekend, me and Alexandre Porres, Fernando Iazzetta, Francisco Serpa, Lilian Campesato and Vitor Kisil presented two performances at FILE Rio, Sonocromática and Teia. The festival took place at Oi Futuro, a cultural center focused on art and technology, sponsored by Oi company.

Sonocromática is based on the work of brazilian artist Abraham Palatnik, a pioneer in kinetic art. I developed all the animations used in this performance with Flash. In the third part of the performance, the performer (Serpa) uses a web cam to record blinking lights. The images are projected with a kind of stripe effect, making a reference to the Progressions paintings, by Palatnik.

The images below are a courtesy of Oi Futuro.

In February, I developed the code to run Cigarras, a work by Gisela Motta and Leandro Lima, composed by ten buzzers. They are controlled by an Arduino board, which runs the code I wrote. The buzzers are spreaded across the front wall of Galeria Vermelho, in their exhibition at the gallery, which lasts until the end of March in São Paulo.

I am learning Pixel Bender and I couldn’t resist temptation to writing code to create the pattern used in sidewalks of São Paulo. I had completely forgotten the equation of line, so I need to say thanks to my friend Lucas for making me remember the Math classes.

I am finishing my master dissertation and, when I can’t write anymore, I use my time to do things that I should have done several months ago. Today, I inserted two works in my portfolio: Teia (web), a sound performance, composed with some artists and friends, and Invisible Mazes. I really love the sound of duct tapes used in Teia, and I am looking for a good video / sound recording to publish in the portfolio, together with the images.

Disclaimer: this post is in Portuguese because I am publishing a presentation I made for a class about AS3. I don’t intend to translate it to English, because there is already great tutorials, books and others materials about AS3 in English.

Na última aula, vimos o básico de processamento de formulários, com as classes que substituem a classe LoadVars, e a maneira como os erros em tempo de execução são gerados e processados em AS3.

Também revisamos o material elaborado pela Adobe sobre o uso e customização de componentes. Como este material é muito bom, não elaborei slides sobre componentes. Segue a lista de parte dos tutoriais e artigos sobre o assunto elaborados pela equipe da Adobe:

Penúltima aula, onde vimos Singleton, e revisamos a diferença entre classes dinâmicas e fechadas.
