Graffiti Analysis 2.0 official launch

Day 3 of GML Week brings us the first major update to a project that I started working on back in 2004 as part of my graduate thesis research. I have teamed up with artist and OpenFrameworks bada55 Chris Sugrue to create Graffiti Analysis 2.0. The GA2.0 software suite consists of (i) the Capture application (PC/OSX/Linux), which records graffiti tags in motion and exports them as .gml files; (ii) the Playback application (PC/OSX/Linux), which imports .gml files and creates data visualizations based on gestural graffiti movement and (iii) DustTag (the GA2.0 iPhone application), which captures graffiti tags and uploads them directly to 000000book.com, an open online database of .gml data. GA2.0 is an ongoing initiative that has been used to capture data from prominent graffiti writers including SEEN, TWIST, AMAZE, KETONE, JON ONE and KATSU, all of which can be downloaded for playback at graffitianalysis.com/tags.

GA2.0 is available online for free in an effort to build the world’s largest archive of graffiti motion data and encourage collaboration between graffiti writers (by uploading data) and hackers (by building systems which utilize that data).

Fuck Twitter, We’re Out

The information superhighway was not meant to be controlled by any one company.

FuckTwitter is the latest part of the F.A.T. Lab’s ongoing efforts to cloud off the grid — Fuck 2.0, host your own.

Do you know what Big Web2.0 is doing with your data?
* AOL Hometown suddenly closed up shop, without warning all the people who had websites there
* Facebook wants to own anything you post, ever
* even friggin’ Geocities is going offline

… who can you trust these days? That’s right. Nobody.

You can use our install, you can install your own, and with federation technology we can even mesh our installs together like a friggin open-source Voltron

You can also enable automatic crossposting to a regular ol’ twitter.com account… you know, 4 the famo

FuckTwitter is powered by the open-source laconica microblogger — our fork is on github.

Spinning vinyl – an ipod app




Direct link here: http://vimeo.com/4353898

A quick app I put together this morning as a response to Todd Vanderlin’s AR scratching ( http://vimeo.com/4312616 ). The app uses the accelerometer of the ipod touch to control the speed of a ‘vinyl record’ on the ipod screen. Slowing down the record and speeding it up is just a matter of controlling how fast you spin the device.

Made with openFrameworks.

Next up scratching!
Track is Full Clip by Gang Starr.

Fuck Flickr, Yahoo is a narc

Shi Tao is serving a 10-year sentence in prison for writing articles calling for political reform in China. Yahoo helped put him there.

FuckFlickr is open-source image gallery software that won’t narc you out. We created it as an alternative to hosting your photos on a certain Yahoo-owned photo sharing site.

Download FuckFlickr 2.0 (PHP, 268kb .zip)

Check out our install at fffff.at/fuckflickr. For the full feature list, installation instructions and development info click here.

A big shoutout to Greg Leuch for serious code contributions to 2.0 — big plans for the future, too, like video support and Hydra-style federation. Oh, and version 2.0 has support for themes — drop yours in the comments.
