I’ve been busy the past few weeks building the online classes for the Atelier Hypermedia. For the moment I’ve still got a lot of work to do on the Web Programming class, but the Processing Programming class is fairly complete for someone trying to learn how to code. Obviously, I still have a lot of things to add to the mix, most importantly the 3d aspects, but all the basics are there : how to write a simple program, making it move, using variables, varying the program, using loops, as well as how to extend Processing by adding external libraries. There are lots of screenshots to keep it visual. It was really designed as a complement to the excellent Processing website, and as we wait for Casey Reas book to come out.

Attention! Tous les cours sont en français! (= all classes are in French)

My school director just mentioned that there is a reference to my work in the latest Parachute magazine. I haven’t red it yet, so I’ll have to let someone else comment it to me. Apparently, it’s pretty minor and takes place in Jean-Pierre Cometti’s article The Mind Devoid of Mind: Art and Artifices of Intelligence. I found the article on the Parachute website, but I’ll have to read it at the school’s library which carries the magazine. Since I’m stuck in bed for a few more weeks, it might take awhile.
Jean-Pierre Cometti was one of the speakers at the Jouable Conference that was held at the Centre pour l’mage contemporain in Geneva. We’ve actually never really met, despite the fact that he works down the road at the University — on top of it all, as a philosopher in the art department. I suppose my reticence comes from the fact that he’s a Wittgensteinian. That said, I do have many friends that suffer the same disease, so I’ll try not to hold it against him.
It looks as if there is also an article on my brilliant collegue France Cadet, whom I work with at the Laboratoire LOEIL.
This is a recording of my presentation during the Symposium Audio/Espaces/Réseaux organized by Locus Sonus. In the accompagnying pdf file (destanley.pdf) you will find links to all of the films and interactive animations described during the talk. This talk is in French (why the hell am I writing this in English? I have no idea)
