Branden Hall & Joshua Davis have created a new ActionScript 3 framework called HYPE, which simplifies a lot of complex actions in Flash like creating auto generating graphics, mouse followers and grid based patterns. Think of it as a how to be Joshua Davis toolkit. From the site:
HYPE is a creative coding framework built on top of ActionScript 3. A major goal of HYPE is to allow newcomers to Flash and ActionScript to creatively play and express themselves while they are learning how to program.
A pretty interesting marketing idea from musician Moldover, a San Francisco based artist who has made his CD case just as desirable as the music itself. Using knowledge of custom circuits, he made the case for his CD into a crude theremin. Check out the YouTube video below.
The title says it all. Brusheezy is a great site for downloading free Photoshop brushes and patterns and voting on your favorites. It’s a mixed bag as far as quality, and there is no categorization or searching, but all in all there are a lot of great sets if you are patient.
Do yourself a favor and dig into this simple Flash website featuring the beautiful photography of Marcus Buck. I highly recommend checking out his series of photographs showing the outlines that buildings leave after they have been torn down. To get there click “Freie Arbeiten” then “Restarchitektur”. Such beautiful images.
While in San Francisco for the Adobe MAX Conference I was able to check out a few local art shows, with the work of Al Farrow really standing out to me. His recent sculptures are of buildings with religious signifigance (mosques, temples, cathedrals) build entirely out of guns and bullets. They are ecceptionally well crafted, beautiful and draw the viewer in very close before they realize what it is they are seeing. I’ve included a pic from the show below.
