colorTeller

April 18th, 2006

It is here. It is online in P3D mode, it is looking kind of jagged but whatever. Here is the applet. Beware though, it is 800kb, and crashes once in a while… It has been a great experience for me. What did I learn?
+ I truly understood how it is hard to maintain a […]


More links about text.

April 13th, 2006

While I was searching processing boards about Verlet integration(that’s totally another post) I have come up with this Israelian fellow named Ariel Malka. From the site, I see he spent a decent amount of time and his energy on displaying text in different ways. He is also interested in literature too so it is not […]


A2Z final progress

April 11th, 2006

The idea I mentioned in the previous post has evolved into something else. Actually I am still sensing the user’s color values through a camera but instead of using this data with flickr I am sending queries to the google by changing the values into color names and adding some arbitrary words afterwards. “red color […]


a2z final proposal

April 5th, 2006

I have been jumping too much lately from subject to subject and getting too much input just created a bottleneck problem in my head. Here is what I have talked in the class for my proposal:

scenario 1: user just goes in the room, he sees the screen full of data from […]


data visualization

March 22nd, 2006

Spending the last few days brainstorming about my final projects. Lately I am really interested in transforming data into “tangible bits” as Hiroshi Ishii coined the term. One example of this could be fraesmaschine by Ralf Baecker.
Nowhere is a landscape in the condition of development. the users of the german search-engine METAGER erode rivers, canyons […]


A2Z midterm

March 1st, 2006

Well it has been a funny week, I was playing with delicious API and trying to parse the data I got into some kind of visualization. There was some problem displaying text on eclipse though, so I ported whole project into processing and continue there. Here is the link to my midterm project overall. It […]


The Dumpster

February 16th, 2006

I have been looking through The Dumpster at Tate’s site and I saw Lev Manovich’s article about this project and it was interesting for me, maybe for you guys too.
I think the article itself is important as how it tells data-representation-visualization as not merely simple representation but also revealing the details that is hiding […]


thoughts and ideas

February 14th, 2006

After reading the paper Direct Manipulation vs. Interface Agents
I think we already left the era where we were happy we were reaching all the information faster, now it has become so much more important to get the information that exactly we need, information which is free from all the noises it is packed with. I […]


Digital Literature - Interview with Noah Wardrip-Fruin

February 11th, 2006

There is a nice interview at artificial.dk with Noah Wardrip-Fruin.
I came to this work through a fascination with possibilites of words, and with the sense that undifferentiated flow down a page wasn’t the right medium for the text I wanted to write.
the time of reading and the time of the processes overlap. there’s […]


AtoZ notes

February 10th, 2006

I know I haven’t updated this part for a while. We are learning the Bayesian Text Filtering right now. This is all you have to know about it. It is mostly used for filtering text, filtering spam mails as we know practically.
Here is the equation of it :
