At BarCampLA, Jim Bumgardner was inspirational for many things. One small thing was for pointing out these two films:
“Lapis,” a short film by James Whitney:
“Catalog,” a short film by John Whitney, 1961
Over on Coverpop, Bumgardner shows off work inspired by John Whitney: Whitney Music Box which is beautiful and hypnotic and surprisingly musical. Mathematics and music indeed!
Inspired by this and Jim’s work, I downloaded Processing for the first time and began playing based on some of the examples on his Processing page.
I had a real good time at BarCampLA-7.
