Talking about OpenProcessing

Published on June 16, 2010 in News. 0 Comments Tags: , .

Recently, I was interviewed by a good friend Tim Stutts about OpenProcessing, its origins, collaboration with Rhizome on the Tiny Sketch competition and its future. Below is a first couple of paragraphs; read the full article on Rhizome’s site:

Interview with Sinan Ascioglu:
OpenProcessing Architect

OpenProcessing.org is a site that has built a community around sharing visual coding examples created in Processing. As user number 36, I had the unique privilege of watching the idea take shape, while in a thesis group with Sinan at NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program. During it’s first two years of activity, the site has grown to host thousands of user-generated sketches and subsequent conversations between artists / programmers, teachers, and students from around the world. Sinan and I escaped the snow recently at a café outside Washington Square Park to discuss OpenProcessing’s origins, Rhizome’s collaboration with OpenProcessing in the Tiny Sketch competition, and what we can expect for the future. – Tim Stutts

Tim: How did you first come up with the idea for OpenProcessing?

Sinan: I guess the first thing to talk about is OpenVisuals, which was my Master’s thesis project at ITP (Interactive Telecommunications Program, New York University). I was reading Edward Tufte’s books at the time, and I became very interested in data visualization. In the meantime …. read more on Rhizome

The winner of Tiny Sketch: Dotlassie takes you through a roadtrip in Iceland!

Rhizome just announced the winner of the Tiny Sketch competition, an open challenge to artists and programmers to create the most compelling creative work possible with the programming language Processing using 200 characters or less. The submission and voting phases are over and we are proud to announce that the winning sketch, as determined by Rhizome’s members, is Driving through Iceland by dotlassie.

As OpenProcessing and Rhizome, we would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who participated in Tiny Sketch — it was a real success and we couldn’t have pulled it off without your support. The collection will be on permanent display in two locations; it will exist as a closed archive containing all of the entries that were submitted to the original contest in Rhizome’s ArtBase, and as an open collection at OpenProcessing where people can continue to submit sketches that follow the Tiny Sketch rules. I will open the collection for new submissions, to be collected under Tiny Sketch concept as soon as possible (once I organize all the sketches submitted for the competition).
