processing

These are pieces created in processing by me to explore the ins and outs of generative art and the processing language. Clicking on one of the projects will bring down a list of links within that subject for you to explore. The source code to all pieces is available by clicking on the appropriate links.

If nothing appears to happen in a sketch, try clicking or moving the mouse within the sketch window as the piece may be interactive. If no window appears at all, either nothing is outputted to screen (These pieces have been created only to explore language syntax or algorithms) or the sketch cannot be viewed live on the internet (Mainly the video library within processing). If this is the case, please feel free to explore the source code and read my comments for details on what the sketch does.

My Projects

+ Shifting Rectangles

These sketches were created by me from an original idea. Once the initial idea had been created I was able to edit the code to create variant pieces based on the first piece.

Books

+ Dan Shiffman : Learning Processing


These Processing sketches were created whilst reading Learning Processing by Dan Shiffman. Sketches titles starting with exa denote examples in the book, often with small changes of my own to aid exploration of the language. Sketch titles starting with exe denote exercises in the book that were solved by me.

Light For Sound's Sake Exhibition from Timothy Bryan on Vimeo.

An exhibition I participated in with a composer - Josh Angel, funded by New Generation Arts. The idea was to amalgamate the visual and audible to create something tangible that you can experience. This ended up using Processing to interpret the audio that we'd composed. The data was then translated to Arduino to light up RGB LEDs to create different colours. This was one loop of the piece from beginning to end to show what it looked like. Filmed with my HV20 :) The audio is out of sync... may put a synced one up when I have time. I'll get the code up if anybody is interested sometime soon.

Beat Based Light from Timothy Bryan on Vimeo.

Just playing with simple beat detection in processing using the Minim Library. I synced the music up with it later and used a line in with Josh playing drums whilst he listened to the track.
