The Danish Ministry of Culture publishes a quarterly magazine called “Kulturkontakten”. The December 2006 issues features a short interview with me (and a weird photo of me). My installation “POM 3” is featured on the jacket of the magazine. You can download the issue as a PDF (2.8 mb) from the website of the ministry.

The Processing book is finally out on MIT Press. It’s not the “missing manual” (the Processing website/community is much better for this). But last year I was asked to read and comment the manuscript, and even if I skipped the code (which I didn’t), the book was full with great ideas from some of the most talented people among the “creative code” folks. Sadly it is 50 dollars. But US dollars come quit cheap these days.

Last week I was doing a workshop at the Art Academy of Jutland. We need a simple way of controlling motors and toys from a remote webbrowser. We ran a server on an old inexpensive PC with a printerport, and I wrote a small commandline tool for switching pins on the port on and off. You can download this extremely simple program. The program is freeware and a small text file with instructions is included – but I don’t offer any support .

I got “signed/tagged” by the artist.
