Some videos from past FOTBs.

Process Compendium 2004-2010 is a collection of work and record of process by Casey Reas, co-founder of Processing, presented and created entirely in Processing. If you have seen Casey speak, this is another opportunity to examine and explore generative art Casey has been creating in the past few years. If you haven’t, (must) download links below.

Spoken by computer voice, you are taken on a journey by Casey through conditions, rules and elements that play a part in the creation of prints, sculptures Casey exhibited worldwide. From early examples of attributed behaviour to simple objects such as lines and circles to complex traces and colour trails these objects create, all resulting in beautiful compositions, captured as fragments of time.

An Element is a simple machine that is comprised of a Form and one or more Behaviors. A Process defines an environment for Elements and determines how the relationships between the Elements are visualized. For instance, Element 1 takes the form of a circle and one of its behaviors moves it along a straight line at a constant speed. Process 4 fills a surface with Element 1 and draws a line between elements while they overlap. Each Process is a short text that defines a space to explore through multiple interpretations. More..

FOTB is approaching fast, more precisely in 3 weeks from today. For those that might be unaware of FOTB already, it is an annual conference in Brighton, UK bringing together some of the biggest names in Flash and digital media on the whole. This is FOTB’s fifth year! If you are a designer, developer, coder, student, manager, game developer, artist, animator or a newbie, then this conference will be for you. Don’t think that Flash on the Beach is only about Flash. Sure appearing at FOTB in the past the team has had the usual suspects – Flash, Flex, AIR, and then some; Open Frameworks, Processing, AJAX, Photoshop, After Effects, Art, Design, Illustration, Animation, Sound and many more.

Below we’ve included two talks from last year including one by mario KLINGEMANN and andre MICHELLE (more here). I met both Mario and Andre during Flashbelt back in June and they are two of many talkers at FOTB you don’t want to miss. Of course, jared TARBELL, robert HODGIN, james PATERSON, karsten SCHMIDT, brendan DAWES and many more will be there too.
