Bronson animation framework built with Processing


Stewdio, in collaboration with Warning Office, has developed a lightweight animation framework written in Processing. The framework, dubbed Bronson, was created for Diller Scofidio + Renfro to drive a panoramic data visualization. Bronson is capable of generating lengthy movies by dynamically loading and unloading complex animation instructions. It was built from scratch to satisfy some abnormal project specifications: a movie resolution of 6,800 × 768 pixels running at 30 frames-per-second, divided across six projectors onto a curved target surface. (That’s over 150 million pixels per second.) Bronson outputs very large lossless movies that are then reformatted by a projection-curving and edge-blending system developed by ZKM. The fruits of Bronson’s toil will be on exhibition at the Fondation Cartier in Paris this November as part of an exhibition on contemporary human migration.
