Augmented Reality and Sound
As some of you may know, I've been working on Augmented Reality projects at Talking Dog Studios and I also have a great love for sound in all it's forms. I think these two videos compliment each other and I think I'm curious to look more into these concepts. I've been playing around with a app for the iPhone called RJDJ that seems to sit in the middle of these two videos. Enjoy ... ------------------------------

Bruce Sterling discussing video
I just love listening to Bruce Sterling talks. I highly suggest you listen to what he has to say then we can go talk about it together. You can follow this video up by going to his blog on Wired magazines website wired.com/beyond_the_beyond/ Closing Keynote: Vernacular Video from Vimeo Festival on Vimeo .

Also, I've been meaning to gather up a post about Bruce for some time and I'll try find all his other talks and post them up on here. Enjoy ------------------------------

Hopefully I can gather up his ideas and discuss them on this blog at some point in the future, but I'll just send you around to a few links to get the ball rolling. I recently stumbled across this amazing blog called Binary Heap full of awesome posts about music software, music theory, generative art and lots of amazing topics. I found a post on Marshall here that gave me the urge to post a few things here. The Medium is the Massage - which can be found on Ubu Web along with other here: http://www.ubu.com/sound/mcluhan.html I've listened to this many times in the last few years and every time I find something new in...
