<p>Some time ago I ported the great <strong><a title="Harmony drawing app" href="http://mrdoob.com/projects/harmony/" target="_blank">Harmony drawing app by Mr. Doob</a></strong> to Max/Msp. This <strong><a title="Harmony drawing app for Max/Msp" href="http://blog.derhess.de/2010/07/08/mr-doobs-harmony-drawing-app-ported-to-max-msp/" target="_blank">Max/Msp Version</a></strong> I used for my media installation <a title="blog post about the Sound drawings project" href="http://blog.derhess.de/2011/02/18/interactive-media-installation-sound-drawings/" target="_blank">"Sound drawings"</a>. During the development and testing with the musicians I was not so happy with my workflow. Furthermore I felt that the Max/Msp environment causes some certain useless obstacles for me. Especially for the visual part of my work. Now I have time to check how useful Flash can be as a renderer. The first step was to port the drawing functions to ActionScript. Here is the result:</p>

The API is still the same as the orginial JavaScript version. Every brush has to implement the <a title="IBrush Interface" href="http://code.google.com/p/derhess/source/browse/trunk/AS3/de/derhess/drawing/brushes/IBrush.as" target="_blank">IBrush</a> Interface methods:</p>

<p>Brushes are very easy to use, but for <strong>performance issues</strong> you have to consider, that the drawing commands are expensive for the computer. I already ran into some performance problems after a few seconds. For this reason, I decided to store the drawing result of each frame into a BitmapData object. The <a title="Hype Framework for generative design" href="http://www.hypeframework.org/" target="_blank">Hype Framework</a> is using the same approach. Here you can see the most important code lines for the bitmap storing approach...</p>
<pre class="actionscript"><span style="color: #0066CC;">public</span> fundction handleEnterFrame<span style="color: #66cc66;">&#40;</span><span style="color: #0066CC;">e</span>:Event<span style="color: #66cc66;">&#41;</span>:<span style="color: #0066CC;">void</span> <span style="color: #66cc66;">&#123;</span>

&nbsp;
  <span style="color: #808080; font-style: italic;">// some code later...</span>
<span style="color: #66cc66;">&#125;</span></pre>
<p>Nothing more I can say. Have fun and keep on coding!</p>

<p>We created a prototype for interviews and user testings and we made a survey in Linz during a rainy day. The Austrain people were very sceptical and did not want to be asked about their happiness on rainy days. However, we were able to get some very useful feedback. The video below will show you examples of the feedback mentioned.</p>

<p>In the end we wrote paper about the details of light therapy and discussing mobile energy resources for smart devices.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://blog.derhess.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/generativegestaltung.jpg" rel="lightbox[1535]"><img class="size-full wp-image-1536 alignnone" title="generativegestaltung" src="http://blog.derhess.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/generativegestaltung.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="115" /></a></p>
<p>Fangen wir mit den harten Fakten an. Das Buch ist ziemlich großformatig und hat ein schönes stabiles Hardcover. Selten so ein gutes haptisches Erlebnis mit einem Fachbuch empfunden. Auch die verschiedenen Druck- und Papiermethoden in diesem Buch sind sehr gut ausgewählt. Die Projektsammlung ist im hochqualitativen Druck eingebunden, dagegen ist der normale Inhalt des Buches mit einem einfachen Farbdruck eingebunden. Die inhaltliche Struktur des Buches, das Buchdesign, selbst, sowie die zum Buch dazugehörige <a title="Generative Gestaltung Website" href="http://www.generative-gestaltung.de/" target="_blank">Website</a> sind perfekt und sehr gut benutzbar umgesetzt. Ein durchaus 100% gelungenes Design und Konzept. Diese Qualität schlägt sich mit einer Preisspanne von 60-75 Euro ziemlich ins Budget nieder. Doch ist jeden Euro wert! Meine Begründungen folgen in einem Kapitel-basiertem Feedback und einem Schlussfazit:<br />
<span id="more-1535"></span><br />
<strong>Einführung Processing:</strong><br />
Die Einführung ist kurz und knapp geschrieben und bringt die Entwicklungsumgebung, sowie Processing ziemlich gut aus der Sichtweise eines Designers auf den Punkt.</p>
<p><strong>Einführung Kapitel 1 - Farbe:</strong><br />
Anfänger werden hier mit sehr einfachen Codebeispielen zum Spielen mit Farbe animiert. Besonders die Abschnitte über das Arbeiten mit Farbpaletten ist sehr<br />
gut umgesetzt.</p>
<p><strong>Einführung Kapitel 2 - Form</strong><br />
Nach den einfachen Farbbeispielen geht es um die Erzeugung von Formen. Grundlegende Zeichnen Methoden werden erklärt (wann und wo soll das Gezeichnete<br />
gelöscht werden). Besonders die Verwendung von <em>Rasterlayouts, Agenten-basiertes Zeichnen</em>, und „<em>Zeichnen mit komplexen Modulen</em>“ waren sehr inspirierend und sehr gut beschrieben.</p>
<p><strong>Einführung Kapitel 3 – Typo:</strong><br />
Dieses Kapitel liefert ein solides Grundwissen über das gestalterische Arbeiten und Erzeugen von Typographie. Die mitgelieferten Klassen unterstützen zudem das Experimentieren (z.B. das Auflösen der Schriftkontur)</p>
<p><strong>Einführung Kapitel 4 – Bild: </strong><br />
Liefert ein solides Anfangssortiment für das Arbeiten mit Bilddaten. Den Abschnitt über „<em>Rückkopplung von Bildausschnitten</em>“ fand ich persönlich nicht so interessant, dafür war der Abschnitt über das Generieren von Bildcollagen umso aufschlussreicher für mich. Auch der Abschnitt „<em>Grafik aus Pixelwerten</em>“ wird sich sicherlich in Zukunft als hilfreich erweisen.</p>
<p><strong>Fazit zu den Einführungsteil:</strong><br />
Die Einführung ist sehr gut gelungen. Die Codebeispiele lassen sich sehr gut verstehen und auch erweitern. Es ist wirklich die beste Einführung, die ich bisher in diesem Bereich gelesen habe. So macht das Programmieren Lernen auch für Designer Spaß!</p>
<p><strong>Fortgeschritten Kapitel 1 – Zufall und Rauschen:</strong><br />
Zufall und Rauschen sind zwei sehr einfach zu benutzende Werkzeuge in der Programmierung. Jedoch sorgen sie genau aus diesem Grund bei Anfängern immer wieder zu Verwirrung. Dieses Kapitel gibt eine sehr ausführliche Erläuterung welche Unterschiede zwischen diesen beiden Werkzeugen bestehen. Des weiteren erfolgen Tipps in welchen Kontext Rauschen und Zufall Sinn machen können. Für mich persönlich war dieses Kapitel mit der wertvollste Teil an diesem Buch.</p>
<p><strong>Fortgeschritten Kapitel 2 – Schwingfiguren</strong><br />
Diese Kapitel erläutert die Erzeugung von Formen mit Hilfe von Sinus und Kosinus Funktionen. Diese Funktionen sind ein elementarer Bestandteil der visuellen Programmierung, daher ist die Behandlung in diesem Buch sehr gut gewählt. Die Erzeugung von <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lissajous-Figur" target="_blank">Lissajous-Figuren</a> als Codebeispiel können den ein oder anderen Designer ein wenig verwirren. Jedoch mit ein bisschen Grundlagenwissen in Mathe sollte es kein weiteres Problem sein (der mathematische Hintergrund wird in diesem Kapitel wiederholt <img src='http://blog.derhess.de/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>Fortgeschritten Kapitel 3 – Formulierte Körper</strong><br />
Bisher wurden die meisten Beispiele im 2D Raum angewandt. Dieses Kapitel behandelt die Manipulation von Körpern im 3D-Raum. Von der grundlegenden 3D Darstellung geht es hin zu Erzeugung von komplexen 3D Körpern. Die Codebeispiele sind gute erklärt und auch hier lädt die hinzugefügte Mesh-Klasse zu weiteren Experimentieren ein.</p>
<p><strong>Fortgeschritten Kapitel 4 – Attraktoren:</strong><br />
Das Arbeiten mit Kräften im 2D oder 3D Raum ähnelt sicherlich ein wenig dem Einstiegskapitel „<em>Zeichnen mit Agente</em>n“. Nur ist in diesem Kapitel der Agent starr und Kräfte von Außen wirken auf ihn ein. In diesem Kapitel werden erstmals physikalische Kräfte zum Generieren von Grafiken benutzt.  Dieses Kapitel hält sich nicht lange mit den theoretischen physikalischen Methodiken auf, sondern wendet einfache physikalische Grundgesetze im praktischen Gestaltungskontext an. Daher wieder ein durchaus gelungenes äußerst interessantes Kapitel.</p>
<p><strong>Fortgeschritten Kapitel 5 und 6 – Baumdiagramme und Datenstrukturen</strong></p>
<p>Dieses Kapitel gefällt mir mit großen Abstand am wenigsten. Die Grafiken und Codebeispiele sehen zwar schön aus, sind aber irgendwie alle Nichtssagend für die Zukunft. Hier hätte mir eine generelle Einführung oder Übersicht über Informationsvisualierung a la „<a title="Information Design overview" href="http://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=1805128" target="_blank">A Tour through the Visualization Zoo</a>“ besser gefallen. Erklärungen wie man Baumdiagramme, oder ein Layoutverfahren anwendet, empfand ich als zu speziell. Es kam ein wenig der Hauch eines Internet Tutorials hoch...</p>
<p><strong>Anhang und Reflexion</strong><br />
Dieser Abschnitt fasst nochmal das komplette Buch in 6 Seiten zusammen. Eine schöne geschriebene Reflexion, jedoch aus theoretischer Sicht zu wenig. Die Theorie hinter generativen Gestaltung bleibt ein wenig auf Strecke.</p>
<p><strong>Endresultat:</strong><br />
Ein super Buch für den praktischen anwendungsorientierten Einstieg in die „<em>Generative Gestaltung</em>“. Die <a href="http://www.generative-gestaltung.de/code" target="_blank">Codebeispiele</a> sind vorbildlich umgesetzt und erklärt. Ich hätte mir solch ein Buch sehnsüchtig in meiner Anfängerzeit gewünscht, und dass dann auch noch in der Muttersprache deutsch! Von der praktischen Seite her gibt es rein gar nichts zu bemängeln. Von theoretischer Seite weißt das Buch leider ein paar Schwächen auf. Zwar zeigt die Projektsammlung eine schöne Auswahl, doch die Beschreibungstexte lesen sich manchmal wie ein Klappentext. Der theoretische Kontext und die Idee geht dadurch in manchen Projekten ein wenig verloren. Als Referenz in einer Thesis oder Abschlussarbeit würde ich dieses Buch nicht unbedingt erwähnen. Dafür finde ich das Buch „<a title="Form + Code on amazon" href="http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/1568989377?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=derhessammedi-21&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1638&amp;creative=19454&amp;creativeASIN=1568989377" target="_blank">Form + Code</a>“ von Casey Reas und Weiteren angebrachter. Es erwähnt und verdeutlicht nochmals die theoretischen Konzepte hinter Computer-generierten Designs (Repeat,Transform, Parameterize, Visualize, Simulate, usw.). Dafür hat es seine Schwächen in der praktischen Umsetzung. Wer sich ernsthaft in diese Thematik der „Generativen Gestaltung“ einarbeiten möchte, sollte sich unbedingt beide Bücher antun!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1485" title="formcode" src="http://blog.derhess.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/formcode.gif" alt="Form + Code Title" width="544" height="67" /></p>
<p>The last few weeks I did some research on the trendy topic generative art and design. I was very enthusiastically for reading the <strong><a href="http://www.formandcode.com/" target="_blank">Form + Code book</a></strong> from <a href="http://reas.com/" target="_blank">Casey Reas</a>, <a href="http://brysonian.com/" target="_blank">Chandler McWilliams</a>, and the agency <a href="http://lust.nl/" target="_blank">LUST</a>.</p>
<p>The <strong><a href="http://www.formandcode.com/contents" target="_blank">content</a></strong> of this book is very well structured. The first chapters introduces programming and the special characteristics of computers in design and art very well. I really appreciate it, that they chose the more concept introduction, then a technical focus. For this reason the reader gets a very good picture why the computer and programming could be helpful for creating new experiences. The transition from the introduction into the toolbox of creative coding is perfectly done. They explained the concepts of <strong>Repeat, Transform, Parameterize, Visualize, Simulate</strong> pretty good. Especially, the chosen examples of artworks for the various toolboxes are very appropriate. Therefore this book is a very useful resource for research in a scientific environment. The positive argument is also the little weakness of this book. In a theoretical terms everything is fine. The reader gets a very good introduction in this new topic. In practical terms the reader is very often alone with the <a href="http://www.formandcode.com/code-examples/" target="_blank">code examples</a>. Only two or four pages are too less for inexperienced programmers and designers. They are not going to understand and even learn so much from these code examples. The book delivers so much good content, but on the practical site if failed for me. For <a href="http://www.generative-gestaltung.de/" target="_blank">German-speaking</a> and <a href="http://www.pyramyd-editions.com/hors-collection/livre/design-generatif-concevoir-programmer-visualiser" target="_blank">French-speaking</a> people it is not worse, because the book <strong><a href="http://www.generative-gestaltung.de/" target="_blank">Generative Gestaltung</a></strong> (review comes soon) is the perfect complement for this book. The book Generative Gestaltung has got some minor weakness on theoretical aspects, but the practical part and the learning from code is perfectly done!</p>
<p>However, this book belongs to every book collection of visual programmers, new media artists and designers. It is definitely the money worth! I enjoyed the reading very much.</p>

<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Reminder  for Flashers:</span></p>
<p>This books reminds me strongly on the creative coding beginnings, like it was with Flash 4, 5 and 6. Flashers, please don't forget your roots! Have also a look on the the old <a href="http://www.friendsofed.com/fmc/downloads/" target="_blank">Flash Math Creativity Books</a> (<a href="http://www.friendsofed.com/fmc/FMCv2/FMC.html" target="_blank">edition 2</a>). Further good code examples are available on <a href="http://www.liquidjourney.com/" target="_blank">Liquid Journey</a>. Joshua Davis and Branden Hall created a very good Flash library for generative design. Check out their <a href="http://www.hypeframework.org/" target="_blank">Hype Framework</a>!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last semester I joined the Journal Club lecture at our University. I continued my research in gesture based interaction for screen-based environments. This little paper research was based on the question how the screen size influences the gesture design. In the end I created a short presentation about important conferences for gesture design, and summarized the results of 4 papers.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For several months I worked on technical paper about designing gestures for screen-based environments. Finally, it is finished and you can read it. Here is the abstract:</p>
<blockquote><p>This paper analyses gesture design for pointing devices in screen-based environments. By exploring design patterns the analysis investigated the gesture design of five different end-user products: Desktop operating systems, mobile operating systems, 3rd Party software, small software products, and common hardware products. The beginning of the paper defines what a gesture is, and the various kinds of gestures. Afterwards the analysis merges the gesture design results with the basic commands for pointing devices. This approach points out which gestures are often used, and in which context they are used. The results give interaction designers and software engineers a guide for implementing gestures in their own products. Furthermore, the paper proposes solutions for gesture documentation, and a conceptual framework for complicated gestures. The last section takes an industrial design perspective on pointing devices as an input channel. It discusses the evolution of interface design from a hardware driven to a software driven approach.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Please note:</strong></p>
<p>Unfortunately, I got sick on a long-term disease. Therefore it took me so long for writing this paper and that is also the reason why the data of the analysis is from January of 2010. However, in my opinion the results of my analysis are still valid. For more up-to-date data, please check the <a title="Touch Gesture Reference" href="http://www.lukew.com/ff/entry.asp?1071" target="_blank">Touch Gesture Reference from LukeW</a>.</p>
