Project Blinkenlights Blog

While we are busy dismantling Stereoscope we'll still find the time for another small event: we are going to do an informal presentation of the technology developed for and used by our light installation this tuesday at 8pm at the hacklab.to.

We are going to explain how everything worked and kind of technology we had to invent to make this al happen. We would be happen if you join. The hacklab.to is located in Kensington Market at 170a Baldwin Street (above Graffiti pub).

Blinkenlights Stereoscope is over now. Thank you Toronto for giving us the opportunity to present our work here. It has been a great experience and we think Toronto is a town that is more than worth the effort. We have had a good time here and the response of the people has been great.

We are now busy dismantling the installation which will done end of the week. We'll head home then and we appreciate the good time we had.

Tonight is going to be the last night of Stereoscope in Toronto. So enjoy our animations and games for the last time before we start dismantling the installation on Sunday.

We hope you all enjoyed our piece in the recent week and we would love to hear from: drop a comment here or write us an e-mail about how you experienced Stereoscope. Any kind of feedback is welcome.

We have put the telephone numbers for the Stereoscope Games in a vCard 3.0 file for easy importing into your phone. Might come in handy.

You should be able to either load this file into your contact application on your computer and sync it to your phone or directly load it on your phone depending on how your system works.

Videobloggers at Dear Toronto provide a look back on what was going on at the streets of Toronto last saturday at Nuit Blanche 2008. Of course Stereoscope is one of the project mentioned.

While Nuit Blanche 2008 is history, Stereoscope keeps on running until the end of this week.

So Nuit Blanche is over and it was an amazing evening. Nathan Philips Square was populated by thousands of people watching the beginning of Stereoscope which also served as the official opening of the Nuit Blanche itself. Here are some first impressions:

Later on, Falk Gärtner presented the Blinkenlights Symphony - a real time video mixing experiment in synchronization with music composed for this event by the fearless musicians of Kraftfuttermischwerk of Berlin, Germany. The symphony was well received by the audience and Stereoscope worked flawlessly the entire night. We couldn't be happier with the results.

More animations for Stereoscope are trickling in and we add more and more stuff to the playlist while also experimenting with a couple of real time generators backstage. We still have a week to go and all contributions are welcome.
