How to create interactive loops using lenticular animation and GifPop

Category Members Tutorials People Posted on:

Golan Levin, director of The Frank-Ratchye STUDIO for Creative Inquiry (Carnegie Mellon University), has 27 students in his Interactive Art & Computational Design class. They range from sophomores (2nd-year undergraduates) to doctoral students. They come from 10 different department (Art, Architecture, Design, Robotics, Computer Science) and they use a huge variety of programming techniques. The purpose of this assignment was to sharpen the students' craft as a creative technologist and provide a good/basic introduction to programming. For their 3rd week of class Golan developed an assignment titled "A Looping, Computationally-Generated Animated GIF, and a Lenticular GIFPop! Print". The following learning objectives were set out:

The purpose of this tutorial is to enable you to write code to create a brief looping animation, using computationally-generated graphics, suitable for both online and lenticular publishing. Then, using the unique GifPop services, you can get your GIFPOPs printed.

Rock Paper Scissors – Virtual ring where two computers endlessly battle algorithms

Created by the Weimar based collective weAREmedienkuenstler, Rock Paper Scissors is a game played between two computers. Like in the classic game, each computer has its own random algorithm running, choosing one of the three possible items. Connected by an ethernet cable, each computer plays its hand — the winning pc gets a point.
