another one with lost beads from a tibetan necklace. This one has 11 strands, they did not tie neatly in the back, managing many strands is a tricky matter, luckily the clasp hides most of my indiscretions. Here is a helpful video on using crimping beads: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3Hy5KjSPLw they are conductive, now that I can make [...]

Shot a music video today for Twin Shadow.  Can’t really show much for obvious reasons… There is quite a bit of post production work to do now and that it going to round out my 4×4 week. I spent quite a few hours Wednesday night/Thursday morning struggling to get Cineform’s video codec to render alpha [...]

On Day 1 I took this picture of a friend jumping: I liked the image so much, that I decided to do a Philippe Halsman-esque photoshoot of people jumping for my next project. I’ve been taking pictures with my Nikon D40x for about a year now, and as an amateur photographer I’m always looking for [...]

Here’s a bunch of photographs taken from vantage points that are not seen very often at ITP, if ever. http://www.flickr.com/photos/tylerdurden3181/sets/72157625862952834/ some highlights:

For day 3 of the 4-in-4, I made a Blender model of an Atari cartridge, specifically, “ET: The Extra-Terrestrial” from 1983. This model is the first step on a large project I’m undertaking: a diorama depicting a hoard of millions of ET cartridges buried in a dump outside of Alamogordo, NM. When Atari undertook the [...]

So I actually ended up spending yesterday researching the history of The Battle of Brooklyn–also known as The Battle of Long Island–for a game Julio Terra and are working on for Come Out and Play. The game would consist of two teams defending and conquering territory in the current landscape with reference to the landscape [...]

In my continuing effort to do things at 4-in-4 that I’ve never done before, for Day 3, I wanted to do a video project. I wanted to come up with one question to ask people on the floor. I started out thinking something abstract would work, like “where are you going?”, but I decided in [...]

We Will Rage You (Linda Ronstadt vs RATM) I have finally, after talking about making mash ups for 4 years or so, created one of my own.  ”We Will Rage You” is a combination Linda Rondstadt “We Will Rock You” vs RATM “Maggie’s Farm”  I had to use Soundtrack Pro, cuz I’m not about to [...]

Used 4 headshots of diana and a few custom brushes to create this. It was pretty fun. I havn’t done anything creative with photoshop in far too long.

For my project for the day, I created the beginnings of a Soft Circuit Sampler – a conductive textiles version of the traditional needlework sampler. According to Wikipedia: “The oldest surviving samplers were constructed in the 15th and 16th centuries. As there were no pre-printed patterns available for needleworkers, a stitched model was needed. Whenever [...]

the waste of the skirt is crocheted out of recycled plastic grocery bag strips and the skirt length out of inflated plastic bags. more 5-in-5 photos on flickr

Do you want Humphrey to succeed, or would you rather see him plummet. It’s up to you. With Click Hangers everyone works together to feed the hiker trail-mix from the blue square. To do this simply click once for each nut or raisin you’d like to feed him. Check his progress my clicking the corresponding [...]

Andrea and I built a little game based the Price is Right’s Cliff Hanger. The original intent was to pay homage to the absurd amount of mouse clicks we all must make in a single day by sending the ol’ mountain climber up the hill. I spent much of day 3 researching open source options [...]
