This Monday, the American Folklife Center at the @LibraryCongress will host “Since 1968: Cultural Organizations, Programming & Documentation, & #Community Enrichment in New York, Kentucky, & #DC” an afternoon #symposium exploring cultural work, geography & community of 3 organizations who trace their beginnings to the swell of social change emerging in 1968. The 2nd panel will focus on DC’s Drum & Spear #Bookstore. Panelists include former Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) members & co-founders of Drum & Spear. Including this lovely women centered here in my #latergram, Judy Richardson, scholar, filmmaker; contributor & co-editor, "Hands on the Freedom Plow: Personal Accounts by Women in SNCC"; #CourtlandCox, president of CCAP Consulting; #AnthonyGittens, founder/director of the D.C. International Film Festival; and #JenniferLawson, media consultant. The panel will also include #JoshuaDavis, asst. professor of history at U of Balt. Drum & Spear Bookstore was born as the Black Consciousness Movement surged across the US. The store officially opened shortly after the murder of Dr. King. Founded by #SNCC veterans #CharlieCobb (journalist, author, "This Nonviolent Stuff'll Get You Killed: How Guns Made the #CivilRights Movement Possible"), Ms. Richardson, Courtland Cox, & #CurtisHayes (later Muhammed), the bookstore was for a time the largest in the country dedicated to literature from Africa and the diaspora. The name “Drum and Spear” reflected the store’s defining principles. The drum, according to Richardson, symbolized “communications w/in the diaspora” while the spear suggested “whatever else might be necessary for the liberation of the people.” Drum & Spear was a haven for #books, #poems & #plays published by & about #Blackpeople throughout the world. Everything from #AlexHaley #IcebergSlim #ChesterHimes #GwendolynBrooks #LeroneBennett, #ShirleyGrahamDuBois #HakiMadhubuti #SoniaSanchez It was also site for meetings, conferences & information gathering. #SpeakLIFE #GRATITUDE #SpreadLOVE #Mindfulness #PositiveVibes #Peace #Focus #Courage #Affirmation #CivicEngagement #BlackExcellence #BlackJoy #UnspeakableJOY #Advocacy #BlackLivesMatter https://www.instagram.com/p/BoFJlwsg0ar/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cr3caqrh5q4l

OFFF 2017 favourites—or how I got terribly starstruck

As promised in my earlier post, I’m sharing my OFFF 2017 favourites list. If you’ve missed it this year, this might be a nice recap but also can cause you fomo. So here’s the disclaimer. 

Before I get into the list, I want to apologise for my extreme slowness. OFFF happened at the beginning of April. And here I am two months later. Even though my festival notes have been sitting in my notebook since then, I just couldn’t get myself to put them onto the screen. But in any case, it’s better than never, no? And I promise I’m working on it.

So there you go. Here’s my favourite OFFF 2017 moments:

Favourite discovery — Mr Kat

Check him out! This guy is amazing. He’s one of the many showcasing works in 3D this year, but I think he's one of the few to use his tools very well in a fresh and creative way. He basically makes super polished robotic cats surrounded by food. He says that he developed this style through personal work, and got commissioned for it later on. It’s also quite witty with weirdo vibes. I also very much enjoyed the visuals he did for the closing party. 

Favourite naughty boys — FOREAL

These guys from a tiny town in Germany are also a 3D crew, who made lots of naughty stuff (mostly dicks and balls). I liked these guys because they were really like themselves, just having some fun, playing around (and making dicks and balls). They also showed a few super lame client work they did. Huge respect for keeping it real. 

Favourite biggest regret — missing Wasted Rita’s talk

Every single one I asked has told me that Wasted Rita was their favourite talk from this year’s conference. So well done Wasted Rita. Naturally, I regret missing her talk, even though I also don’t regret it, because during her talk I was instead talking to Anthony Burrill. I still regret missing Wasted Rita’s talk though, but I also don’t regret it. She’s cool. Really really cool.

Favourite celebrity moment — meeting Joshua Davis

My headliner for OFFF 2017 was Joshua Davis. At the end of last year, I told all my co-workers that my new year resolution is to learn Processing. Hence I have spent many late nights watching Joshua’s Processing tutorial in my dark bedroom, while my brain melted into my keyboard. I like and aspire to his work and energy. He’s a bit of a legend. 

So by the end of the first day, I was chatting with Bradley—a.k.a. GMUNK, as Josh walked up to us to say goodbye to Bradley. At that point, I was highly starstruck that I unconsciously yelled his name. Bradley was then forced to introduce him to me. Josh was super nice. He quite randomly started telling me about that time that he was bargaining really hard for a backgammon set in Grand Bazaar that he walked out on the seller and the guy had to run after Josh to accept his price. At that point, I was thinking how random this story was and that I didn’t really care about what happened, but I also loved that we were like best friends now, telling each other random stories like this. Joshua Davis is insane. We’re friends now. And his talk was great. 

Sorry if I embarrassed you, Bradley.

Favourite biggest jealousy — Gary Baseman

I wish I was as talented and sassy as Gary Baseman.

Favourite speaker (and the cutest) — GMUNK

OK, GMUNK is actually a stand-up comedian. Everyone in the room cracked up the entire time he was on stage. He’s an amazing public speaker. Not that he needs it though. In fact, his work would speak for itself, even if he was the dullest speaker ever. But combined with his super funny presence, his talk was I think one of the best, by far. I’ve also observed the audience quite a lot, and they seem to agree. On another note, Bradley is so nice, he might be the nicest.

Favourite person — Anthony Burrill

Oh, and Anthony Burrill is the best. He really is. I signed up to speak to him and show him my work during his Adobe Live Stream. (Thanks so much for that, Adobe and Michael Chaize). I was very particular with Anthony indeed. I think along with Jonathan Barnbrook and a few other, Anthony Burrill is a contemporary British design hero. He makes very traditional, typography heavy graphic design using mostly letterpress. And the level of feedback he gave me for my work was insane. Very thoughtfully precise and incredibly mature. I loved the streaming, and we had a chat afterwards too. He’s very polite. And he told me that he was quite nervous during his talk. I think it was awesome. I’m happy to have met him.

That’s it. Tell me what you think, how your experience has been, and if you agree with my list.

Section3 my fave: Myself working with generative artist, @JoshuaDavis & @satelliteoffice to produce a library of art murals designed with location data from @HERE Technologies. The software combined 10 international artists and global cities to visualize the underlying beauty of HERE location data. Utilizing HERE #global #city #data (#SaoPaolo #Singapore, #Berlin #Amsterdam & more), we remixed the work of @shawnax, @baugasm, @victoriadessine, Janusz Jurek, @open_dawe, @jamesdawe, @rikoostenbroek, @nopattern, @madebykaran, and @zzdesign resulting in these #generative #mural #installations. Fascinating #process @praystation https://www.instagram.com/p/Btp0bkklE-c/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14srk9x8ngrj9

Datassette - Short Term Memory | Processing to 3D 360 video from Benjamin Fox on Vimeo.

3D 360 music video generated by Processing. Music: Datassette - Short Term Memory datassette.net/

This has been a while in the making and excited to finally share it. Using Processing, a stereoscopic equirectangular image is generated with a GLSL shader. Both eyes are rendered creating nice stereoscopic depth.

The code is largely a port of the Unreal Engine 360 exporter by Kite and Lightning, translated into the Processing / Java language, with the functionality that transforms the sampled texture to an equirectangular image for export, done by a GLSL shader.

Special thanks to my friend, Joshua Davis (vimeo.com/joshuadavis), who has supported me during the development of this, and provided access to his PC for rendering (without which, this wouldn't be getting posted for several more days!)
