Creative fingers are itching, so i decided to co-design a lamp with my partner Lotta. Three 120mm lightbulbs, blood, sweat and tears (the blood and tears from Lotta, the sweat from me).
Sketchbook
A sketchbook is a wonderful thing. You can chuck it in your manbag, carry it around for a couple of months and jot down all sorts of ideas ranging from crazy to genius. After a while your sketchbook will tell a bit about who you are, where you’ve been and the kind of snacks you’ve kept in the same bag.
This is our sketchbook. Enjoy but beware of slight chaos. If you prefer a structured view of our work, hop on over to our Portfolio instead.

Processing: RGB Morpher
Tuesday, August 4th, 2009
Our adventures in Processing land continue. This time we decided to mash some colors for instant Ode Skoo Psychedelia like. This one manipulates the R, G & B values of each pixel by a variable offset. Not very subtle but that’s not what we’re going for here. Go check out the Java applet or download the sketch here.
Next, we’re applying this baby to video. Should be trippy enough.

Pixerlizer (or Processing Baby Steps)
Wednesday, July 29th, 2009We’ve been eyeing Processing for a while now and finally decided to take the plunge. The result turned out to be pretty useful (albeit not unique).
Pixerlizer in Processing from GOAB on Vimeo.
The theory is simple: load color values for all pixels of the current frame to a 2D array, sample the color value c of every nth pixel on every nth row, draw a rectangle n*n in it’s place with color c. Rinse and repeat. Performance is in all honesty pretty horrible but that seems to be inherent in the processing.movie library and my ageing Macbook. All in all, a good learning and experience and we’re already working on new Processing-stuff. Stay tuned.

Hobo Look rev. 2
Thursday, July 9th, 2009Right, now we’re getting somewhere. Note the dismal Mad Professor state of my hair and my stache. Coming up next: I’m getting myself a poncho.
Vertically challenged people.
Wednesday, July 8th, 2009Content aware scale is a new “nifty in theory-feature” in photoshop CS4. If you fudge a picture a few percent, I’m sure it would look quite ok. Young Starving creatives do not like quite ok, we like perfect and/or weird.
This is Blänk with a vertically challenged look with some fake bokeh. I’m shooting a motion-piece with the same technique coupled with the flowmotion-test. It will be epic!
Extremely short stopflowmotion test

yeah, I reckon I semi-invented that term (or pulled it out of my ass). Stop motion sequence interpolated with several different optical flow and morphing techniques. Tedious as hell but looks sort of decent.
Hobo Look 2010
Monday, July 6th, 2009I have taken on a personal uncommissioned project to rid myself of my usual stunning self and look like a total hobo by 2010. The result so far is promising. The picture below doesn’t quite show the current messy state of my hair, rest assured it’s a lot worse than it looks.
I’ll keep you posted as the decline progresses.
