“Ideas on Oedipal Bitstreams” Update

Tuesday, 5th February, 2008

I’ve uploaded tweaked, improved versions of Ideas on Oedipal Bitstreams.

FAST

SLOW

What’s new in these versions:

  • Two buttons in the top-left. Refit moves text to a second ’static’ configuration from which new configurations can be gestured. Stack button dumps the text at the bottom of the screen, with each fragment landing at a random location on the x-axis. From here, you can motion up your word clouds.
  • Improved coding so that no mouse gestures fail – this was a real problem with the slow version
  • More zealous avoidance of the mouse by the text!

This is now a finalised panel.  I will have another one completed for Providence in a week.

Carry, ok?

I’m going to a Karaoke bar tomorrow afternoon for my friend’s birthday.

REQUESTS, PLEASE.

Whitehead Revisited

PennSound also has the archived Whitehead material. Of course, PennSound in general also possesses one of the most comprehensive sound and performance archives on the web.

Thanks to j.henry chunko for further info.

Gregory Whitehead, “We All Scream Alone” (excerpt from “Pressures of the Unspeakable”) at UbuWeb. Such an awesome idea, and I think the Australian commentaries are invaluable to this sound file.

That’s only the tip of the iceberg. There are 53 tracks to enjoy on Whitehead’s UbuWeb page, including the full “Pressures of the Unspeakable” sound file.
