Becks – Music Inspired Art interactive installations


Tuesday, October 6, 2009

Developed as part of the Becks Music Inspired Art campaign. The installations are being set up across 12 sites in London allowing users to plug in any music player, then playing music into the installations, artwork is generated from the music. The end results are collected and uploaded into an online gallery.

As music is played into the installations, the app listens to volume and pitch while drawing in real time abstract artwork. For each minute of the day a different complementary colour palette is used and over 250 random brush shapes were generated. The finished designs are then uploaded into flicker.

Built using Flash and Zinc, each kiosk has its own FTP engine that pushes the finished designs to the web, tagging and cataloging them. Created at Outside line studio.

Generated in Flash and ActionScript. No two output’s are the same … ! The re.drawer has been updated to include a ‘interest’ map of the image. This looks to see what parts of the drawing should be exaggerated as it’s being drawn.

Announcing underoneroof

underoneroof

Hopefully this may help all designer’s and creative’s alike who keep track of visual drop site’s like ffffound, dropular and yayeverday. After spending a good 15mins each morning when I get into the studio browsing through what’s new on each site, I decided to try and full everything together on one handy page with the ability for bookmarking images.

Embracing the mash-up mentality here’s underoneroof

It’s still in very early stage’s but hopefully you may find it useful as I know I do! It will let you bookmark image’s without the need of signing up, just browse and go. I must stress that all credit for the resources found on the site remains with the original sites and their communities. Just think of this as a glorified RSS reader (which it is I guess!) Enjoy
