Inauguration of our studio in Bordeaux,France. from 2Roqs on Vimeo.
Two weeks ago we@2Roqs inaugurated our new studio in Bordeaux (read my previous post). Invitations were sent to guests by e-mail that linked to the stop-motion video above. It was shot during some rainy days of April, and the idea was to create something non-digital that […]

Some people wrote me to ask where some of my processing sketches were gone. Well, they’re lying somewhere on my server with a webpage I don’t maintain anymore. When Processing Beta came out in 2005 (I think), Martin Antolini kindly adapted my sketches from Alpha to Beta version. I just packed all of them in […]

The event was organised by Medias-Cite which regularly invites artists / programmers to expose their personnal project(s). This is a good […]

Here we go again. It’s been almost three weeks now I’ve started working in our new studio based in Bordeaux. Me and fellow Mike spent the last three months mending the whole place, from building an entire room to revamping the inside decaying walls. It was hard times but we finally achieved our labour and […]

The “Vision Factory” string was rendered using a module that wraps the ofTrueTypeFonts code from Openframeworks. A module is composed of some special chunks of code that can extend Vision Factory core model. More bindings should come in the near future, and I am actually thinking of a way to easily link module inner code […]

The screenshots above show the very first Vision Factory plugin whose rendering is completely made with Javascript. All the drawing commands and logic are handled within a single script, which can be modified and recompiled while the main program is running.
This was made possible through the integration of jslibs (built upon Spidermonkey). According to its […]

Phew. I’ve been kept away from blogging for two months now, working on several projects for the company I run with my friend Mike.

We were involved in the creation of an interactive application for a Finnish phone manufacturer which is organizing a promotion tour across Europe this spring and summer. Their whole visuals being based […]

I just came back from Paris where I animated a second Processing workshop there. It went super well again, thanks to Craslab (cheers Agnès and Jean-Noël) and all the participants who were strongly motivated to learn and code. Cheers to them too ! As usual, two days were damn too short, but I have the […]

The video above shows a two-layered tech demo of Vision Factory :
- one scene with webcam kaleidoscopic background (shameless plug from Flight404), distance to the plane+rotation are driven by midi device.
- that good ol’ ripple effect applied as a filter on the background.
- scene with rgb debug cube, […]

I am in the process of integrating Javascript in Vision Factory through the use of Spidermonkey engine. The primary idea was to have an easy way to bind properties in an animation in order to avoid the fastidious (and often frantic) common recompilations every time one single parameter/formula had to be […]
