GML – Graffiti Markup Language

vdmokstati — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 06:20:41 +0000

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 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

vdmokstati — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 23:28:17 +0000

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.

Facebook Event: https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=192166687522498

After a MASSIVE night in August which saw a full club treated to an evening packed full of audio visual treats, this October sees the Prognosis crew head back to Loop to write the next chapter in their musical journey. A night not to be missed, the crew is once again set to explore the full spectrum of the progressive genre.

Prognosis welcomes back Darkbeat stalwart and Mink resident, Dave Juric, to lay down a fine selection of tunes from a genre that has long been aligned closely with the Melbourne scene. Playing alongside Prognosis resident J-Slyde, the two aficionados will delve deep into their collections to serve up a progressive breaks feast. Playing back-to-back, the two will take a look back at some of the tunes and artists that helped build the once thriving scene and acted as a catalyst in putting Melbourne on the global progressive map.

Joining them on the night is progressive house wunderkind Rysh Paprota whose highly acclaimed production and remix skills have seen him in high demand. Producer, DJ and front man of Budgie Collective online radio station, Square Eyes will be down to treat us to a showcase of his sound. Also along for the ride is Alex Butler who will be channeling the dusty dance-floors of the festival world as he packs a bag-load of tougher progressive weapons and gets ready set to unleash some musical mayhem.

Of course, no Prognosis event would be complete without the musical stylings of resident tune addicts Simon Murphy and Aaron Static, who will once again treat their audience to a captivating blend of the finest tunes on offer. Captivating crowds at some of Australia’s most highly regarded events with his artistic wizardry, vdmo Kstati is set to lay down the visual aspect of the night.
