The Beginnings of Computer Animation!

by amobramaein

This is an interesting video, it shows the early usages of computing technologies in the creative process. It is nice to see the beginnings of the technologies and computational techniques we take for granted now a days. Image

Bonus (also spoiler) : The awesome music in the video was generated by the same computer.

Otomata: An experiment on procedural music generation.

by amobramaein

Otomata is a tool made by Batuhan Bozkurt, this instrument is based on the theory of cellular automata to generate music. For all you hackers out there you can play music with Conway’s game of life!

Check this out at:  http://www.earslap.com/projectslab/otomata , you can also get this instrument at the Apple App Store, for you iDevice owners.

Abstract Art Generator!

by amobramaein

Explore your inner abstract artist! This tool lets you create abstract paintings by generating “abstract”-like brushes for you to use. It is an interesting tool, that lets the user get an easier grip on the painting process by procedurally generating the brushes out of a series of seeds and presets.
