Media Identity 2.56
Posted on December 4th, 2006 by Tobin Stewart.
Categories: Node.
so here is the patch. Fully implemented with a recording switch bassed on pixel mass of the matrix. This ensures that as someone enters the frame a video is then recorded.
Each clip is incremented and then recorded into a folder which then feeds the clips into the fast cuts index.
Additions to the patch also include a counter which makes sure the video clips stay under a certain length
minor problems:
- the video only records every other time.
what direction to go in for tuesday:
1. set up some sort of delay on the alpha matrix.
2. accumulate more clips for fast cuts. Grabbing current news, uncovered stories (iraqi soldiers crushing mans car ect.), anything striving for “truth”

Release 2.5.1

New Patch Includes:
- Sliders
- depending on light; CNN may have to be negative; so slider won’t work
- Fast Cuts
- you have to toggle the max & min for playback speed
- slider for randomness seems ineffective; set value @40 & toggle
- Mirror effect
- change variables… and then put them back; doesn’t work unless you do this
- jit.qt.record set write variable
Figure out how to:
- increment the new variable
- attach recordSWITCH to qt.record so that bangs affect write and stop
- manually target where qtmovie saves

EDIT: regarding tomorrow’s cancelled class, this would be a great opportunity to get together in the morning and do some work.
Priorities:
- finish documentation for live @ 11 ASAP
- complete node implementation of mediaIdentity 8 days left
- finish node documentation for Dec
Next week should focus purely on getting these things done.
Here’s lookin’ @ Node kids

- Initial integration complete with LCD and control wires intact.
- We need to drill a pinhole in the flapping panel in front of the isight to conceal its body.
mediaIdentity 2.1
Posted on November 21st, 2006 by Peter Horvath.
Categories: Max/MSP/Jitter, Node.
- mediaIdentity 2.1 codename “grassroot”
- txt file for net compatibility
EDIT: just tested! video slider sucessfully scrubs to motion!
the following has been addressed:
- surveillance (jt.qt.record write mov)
- audio panning affected by location of audience (jit.findbounds)
- speed of video affected by motion (jit.qt.movie rate $1)
Live @ 11 turns into Node

Areas of Focus:
- Integrate/hide camera into physical piece
- Adding delay to interaction, surveillance (jt.qt.record jit.avc write *.mov)
- Converting alpha mask to motion detection vs. threshold (jit.op @op absdiff)
- Audio volume affected by amount of mass in the camera view (spigout~)
- Delay lag with audio, more fluidity (delay~ tapin~ tapout~)
- Competing audio, CNN news vs. Chomsky and Nader (peakamp~)
- Left and right audio panning affected by location of audience (jit.findbounds)
- Speed of the video is affected by amount of motion (jit.qt.movie rate $1 frame $1 rslider)

For december:
Create a complex kinetic sculpture, through simple physical systems, no coding, simple electronics. Gives us a better understanding of construction, systems, and materials.
Springs, gears, pulleys, cranks, tubes, tanks, ect.
Move into interaction for second semiester.

THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE
“Contemporary neuroscience suggests the existence of fundamental algorithms by which all sensory transduction is translated into an intrinsic, brain-specific code. Direct stimulation of these codes within the human temporal or limbic cortices by applied electromagnetic patterns may require energy levels which are within the range of both geomagnetic activity and contemporary communication networks. A process which is coupled to the narrow band of brain temperature could allow all normal human brains to be affected by a subharmonic whose frequency range at about 10 Hz would only vary by 0.1 Hz.”
An Invisible Information Highway
“Like physical light (energy) and elementary particles (mass), consciousness (information) enjoys a wave/particle duality that allows it to circumvent and penetrate barriers and to resonate with other consciousnesses and with appropriate aspects of the environment. Thereby it can both acquire and insert information, both objective and subjective, from and to its resonant partners.”

I don’t know if we could actually use this - do to the potentially hazardous nature of the elements - but it seems as though it could be interpreted as a Mind Expanding Substance. Chemiluminescence
