Processing.org

I was only made aware of this website today. It may go a long way into helping me and my project, as I will be going over it a lot more thoroughly during the winter holidays. Even at a glance I've found interactive exhibitions very relevant to my project and extremely exciting.

For instance, I've found a wealth of information on exhibitions of the technological and digital kind in the exhibitions section alone. Projects like:

• .fluid - a concept study of interactive surfaces that react to the spectator's touch.
• Petting Zoo - Life-like robotic creatures reacting to the approach of spectators and behaving like a pet would.
• Soundmachines - An interactive musical instrument that worked as a DJ tool by scanning visual patterns on vinyl-sized discs and building electronic soundscapes.

The list can go on. You can look at some of the tutorial videos about programming, and also download free, open source software. You can do this with the option of making a donation that go to fund the Processing Foundation, ultimately helping the extension of programming and its role within the visual arts.
