Happy Sunday!

As a kid I remember the phrase "when pigs fly" as an expression of disbelief. This weekend as I've been making little sculptures I've been thinking about when robot whales fly and angry trad, trophy wives.

My Dither Studies interactive dither generator goes live at Museum of the Moving Image on their media wall tomorrow.

Dither Studies is not just my painted works but also an open-source web tool many years in the making — amazing to be able to show it this way!

I was invited into an awesome group show, NET EVIL, at Feral File on the seven deadly sins. I chose wrath. Curated by Mackenzie Davenport.

Awesome time at WordHack in #NYC last night, where we premiered our film START ME UP to a sold-out Wonderville!

Thanks (and CONGRATULATIONS!) to Todd Anderson, founder & host of WordHack, and thanks to director Albert Figurt and star Henry Jenkins for joining us via video for a Q&A

Room full of people in a video game arcade space; we’ve pulled up the screen where START ME UP was shown and are projecting Albert and Henry on the well behind during the Q&A session

I should add that the full resolution version is much richer.. it's a pity these things get scrunched down by compression algorithms for streaming on tiny phone screens..

Thanks!

Writing code is the act of weaving a series CPU instructions. Every row of pixels is a weft of byte groups retrieved from computer memory.

ISO/IEC 10646 uses Unicode block elements as units and motifs.
