Transitlounge at Transmediale entry on petehindle.textdriven
Last year I participated in transitlounge, a self-funded residency in Berlin. I was/am interested in the concept of a fishboy, someone who is into fish on multiple levels, aesthetically, gastronomically, philosophically. It is part of an ongoing idea.
Transitlounge has now moved on, evolving into a residency space for Australian and German artists and architects. At one of the forums at Transmediale, Curators Miriam Mlecek and Katie Hepworth will show selected works from the transit lounge 2006 and discuss their work.
salon, Wed 31st Jan 2pm.

The purpose of this site is to explore transitions, not only those created by travel, or borders, but the whole wealth of transformations, physical, psychological, philosophical that are occurring. Coming from the science background, labs have always been exciting places, thus I wanted lab as part of my domain. One transition I am particularly interested in at the moment is that of the art/science/technology divide. About whether it is getting bigger, or smaller, or whether they are starting to stitch back together through strong collaborations and partnerships.

Eggpass
Eggpass Lo-fi social networking. Rosanne Marshack and Richard Valentin “On Augmented Reality-Enabled Social Network Traces of Pratitya-samutpada (Interdependence)” were tracing their social network with 12 black eggs. These eggs were simple to make, nice to hold, but at some point the paths stopped. The participants had become too attached, the eggs became objects of affection and didn’t go any further. (0)

ISEA - Aceti mediated virtual visions
abstract Aceti and collaborators are developing a technology that can look at how virtual reality affect emotions. It is his goal to get to an experiential idea of how to affect emotions. He is actually trying to measure the responses, eeg, perspiration, etc, the reaction. This is quite a powerful idea, but one that comes into all artworks, but I don’t think it has actually been done for art at a quantitative way. (0)

Ping
In the PING, an alternate reality of control (Eelco Wagenaar, Arjan Scherpenisse) talk (abstract here). It was exhibited at mediamatic amongst others. Games are about fun rather than winning. They have made a simple ping game, simple in technology, but not content. The structure is two pingpong ball throwing devices and two players, two screens, and a small bit of software. (0)

12 hours and 8 time zones
Ah, Singapore, where the weather is balmy. Its my first Asian country. My fellow passenger David from www.xm-asia.com described it as Asia on Training wheels. It is certainly that. I was at the Sleepy Sams only an hour after getting off the plane, no queing for passport control, bag already on the luggage carousel, easy to obtain travel card, and quick. Compared to the hours lost in other countries post the plane, this was great. Now to tell my body that it is not 1.30 in the afternoon. So now off to find some food…probably Malaysian. (0)

syntax highlighting of arduino code in jedit

Image via Wikipedia

My eeepc has a small screen which some programs don’t handle well. The arduino programming environment (the same as processing) doesn’t always handle it very well (like having the scroll bar disappear occasionally). However, it is possible to use an external editor. Personally, I like jedit and its code highlighting. Problem is that it dosen’t recognise the extension *.pde as a c-like style. More... (0)
