GML – Graffiti Markup Language

Graffiti Markup Language (.gml) is a universal, XML based, open file format designed to store graffiti motion data (x and y coordinates and time). The format is designed to maximize readability and ease of implementation, even for hobbyist programmers, artists and graffiti writers. Popular applications currently implementing GML include Graffiti Analysis and EyeWriter. Beyond storing data, a main goal of GML is to spark interest surrounding the importance (and fun) of open data and introduce open source collaborations to new communities. GML is intended to be a simple bridge between ink and code, promoting collaborations between graffiti writers and hackers. GML is today’s new digital standard for tomorrow’s vandals.

KInectar

Kinectar lets you use your Kinect as a MIDI controller. This tutorial from Kinectar developer (Chris Vik) will show you how to use the basic functions of Kinectar’s main page. You’ll learn how to map your hands to control features in Ableton Live.

Same technique can be used for any software that accepts MIDI (ie. VJ Software). Mac OSX support in the coming days.

Processing.org + vh screen capture + Resolume = Love

For those that have an ongoing relationship with Processing.org and use VJ mixing software (eg. Resolume Avenue) on Windows, question always stands, how to include your live running Processing sketches inside your live set?

One of the workable solutions is use of VH Screen Capure which can be added as source in Resolume which in turn can be set to select any Windowed Screen on your desktop.
