EmoFlux is a system that visualizes the emotional flow as a weather pattern. It allows the audience to see the emotional circulation and distribution across the country and the neighborhoods that they live in. Through this project, I am discovering the relationships between the geographical space and emotions that are shared via Twitter.

Unending Credits (Lifestyle)
video and software
2014
A television program that continually ends and re-generates itself as long as it runs. Television shows help reproduce ordinary life through their repetition and banality, but sometimes they also promise aspiration and betterment through everyday labor. Have you thought about installing a new water feature?Airing November 22 – 28, 2014

“Memento Maury” Tiffany Funk
Memento Maury is a generative video exploring gender essentialism and racial/cultural stereotyping as evidenced by the long-running daytime talk program The Maury Povich Show. By aggregating video clips from over 100 episodes, one can see not only how the formulaic aspects of the show emphasize gender and racial tropes, but also how the repetition built in to popular media serves to both reflect and further ossify social and cultural hierarchical structures. All video was collected from video hosted at Youtube.com. Effects were created using custom software built with the open source programming language and development environment Processing.

“Painting Generator” Jon Chambers
For Painting Generator, Chambers created marks using his computer input as an interface and exported the results as digital files. Using three arrays in the Processing language, one image from each array is grabbed then displayed randomly on the screen every 1-2 seconds. This randomness also extends to color. What follows is an almost infinite display of composition, using the algorithms to do the heavy work.

AutomataBahn
ACRE TV is pleased to present:
AutomataBahn
November 1 – December 31, 2014
Television is a beast that never sleeps, and that takes a lot of programming! At ACRE TV, we’re looking to enrich the notion of a living, breathing, never-sleeping creature whose DNA is an endless stream of sound and image. With that in mind, tune in this November & December for TV that’s alive.
What do we mean? What are we talking about? AutomataBahn includes videos and computer programs that engage with the notion of ‘programming’ as a form of life, never repeating the same frame twice. Think cellular automata, Mandelbrot sets, Wolfram’s Rule 30, or any other generative image making process. Imagine the possibilities of a creature running wild over hours of broadcasting.
AutomataBahn includes week-long generative pieces by Joshua Albers, Jon Chambers, Tiffany Funk, Traci Hercher, Gil Park, Jon Satrom, and a collaboration from Chaz Evans and Maureen Ryan; a week-long livestream by Tom Burtonwood; a week-long collaborative project between poet Charity Coleman, filmmaker Marianna Milhorat and musician Michael Rae; and documentation from a generative dance-for-camera performance by Samuel Hertz and Maryanna Lachman.
Programmed by Nick Bacon, Jon Chambers, Kera MacKenzie, Jesse Malmed and Andrew Mausert-Mooney
Show Concept: Marina and Tony Balko
