Digital inspiration
Creative coding and special displays
Open frameworks
A c++ library designed to assist the creative process by providing a simple and intuitive framework for experimentation.
Simply put, openFrameworks is a tool that makes it much easier to make custom visual things via code.
Visualising data
Nike+ Paint With Your Feet by YesYesNo http://yesyesno.com/nike-collab-paint
For the launch of the Nike Free Run+ 2 City Pack series, runners were invited to create dynamic paintings with their feet using their Nike+ GPS run data.
Using custom software, the run data is turned into a visual piece of art.
The runner's name, the distance they ran and their run path was laser etched onto a custom fabricated shoe box.
Analysing video
OpenFrameworks is also very powerful for analysing video data, which can then be used to modify the image or to control other things. Microsoft Kinect adds a depth dimension to the video which opens up a lot of possibilities.

Physical displays
A display is basically just a grid of pixels. Pixels can be made out of anything: light, water, wood, …

Proejction mapping
A display doesn’t have to be flat - it can take any form.
