In the end of nineties, I was a demoscene coder. “Demoscene” word won’t tell a lot to the people nowadays, so I should refer to it as “video art”. So, all that “demoscene” was about writing programs, which combined beautiful computer-generated images with the music. Also, there was a music and art parts, but I am not talking about this. Not so long ago, I have downloaded a “Processing” programming/scripting language, which is dedicated to people like me - it has a simple editor and bunch of graphic functions, which allows you to build any graphical “proof of concept” software. It works well in realtime and also it has a very simple to understand code.

So, most recent application I’ve done in Processing is a “Kaleidoscope”. It works well on any Macintosh computer with camera attached, you can get OSX version here. It also changes the image basing on the sound it gets from the microphone.

Here is an example of how it looks like. OMG, I wish I had such as an iTunes visualizer.

A frame from the drafts:

And Quicktime Video, of course.
