Stewdio has begun building an animation framework based on networked ‘nodes’ for Ear Studio. These nodes contain very simple behaviors that are geared to affect neighbors within the network in various ways. The framework is being written in the newly released (and first non-beta) Processing 1.0. Details on the intended use of this framework to be released in the future.
Stewdio is temporarily relocating to Paris next week to conclude a five-month collaboration with Diller Scofidio + Renfro architects. (Stewdio phone and email will be redirected to Paris; meetings to be held via Skype.) The exhibition, Terre Natale, opens at the Fondation Cartier the evening of November 20th. It will be on view from the 21st until 15 March 2009. Our collaborative work, framed by French philosopher Paul Virilio, will appear on Cartier’s lower gallery under the title Terre Natale: Exits. It is divided into two works: Exits I, the larger open gallery piece designed by DS+R and Ear Studio; Exits II, the rotunda enclosure with immersive projection video designed by a team of collaborators including Stewdio.
Stewdio has joined a project headed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro for the Fondation Cartier in Paris. Principal collaborators include Ear Studio and L00K. The product of this collaboration will be a data visualization of contemporary human migration patterns to be exhibited at the Fondation Cartier in November; framed by renowned French philosopher Paul Virilio. Stewdio’s responsibilities will initially include assisting with content development, managing visual strategies, and programmatic sketching.
