Boskoi, Urban Edibles

October 2010 I completed the crafting of the platform Boskoi. Boskoi is an Android application and website that supports urban foraging. Or as described on the website: Boskoi is a free, opensource mobile app that helps you explore and map the edible landscape wherever you are. Named after the greek word for grazer or browser [...]

VideoPile - interactive storytelling environment, is a prototype to try out if a movie can be watched by browsing through the scenes. It is build in openFrameworks and inspired by the Dutch artist Spinvis with his video clip "Voor ik vergeet".

529: Metal, Mirros and Duct Tape

Joey van der Bie — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 19:46:39 +0000

529 is created from the desire to see the world from a different perspective. To avoid a high-tech solution, only low-tech materials were used: mirrors, metal-wire and duct tape. These materials resulted in making 529 highly flexible, strong and modular. 529 is made during the Tactile Research Lab at the Royal Academie of the Arts [...]

Autosmiley for windows

Joey van der Bie — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 20:34:03 +0000

Theo made a so called speed project which allowed him to insert a smiley when he smiles. But it worked only on a Mac so I ported the app to Windows.

Headtracking and Slitscanning

Joey van der Bie — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 11:43:41 +0000

Slitscanning is a technique where video or images are created by creating an image slit(line) by slit(line). The position and the direction of the slitscan vary, but usually the slit moves horizontal or vertical over the screen. (more info at wikipedia) To investigate new possibilities into slitscanning, Vincent Vijn and me created an application with [...]

The Love Guru is a project I did together with Vincent Vijn in Max/Msp/Jitter. The Love Guru uses a genetic algorithm and the secret formula from lovecalculator.com to create a perfect match for you! We build it to practice with genetic algorithms and image creation – so no guarantees on your match… The Love Guru [...]

Social Television

Joey van der Bie — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 16:10:53 +0000

Do we see the boundaries? Every object forces its own boundaries upon their environment. Most boundaries are so common (or hidden) that we don't see them. This creates situations in which our current values are undermined. “Social Television” discusses the transformation of the living room and adapts the TV to support the social happening.

Me and Anton Pieck

Joey van der Bie — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 22:24:14 +0000

I am a big fan of Anton Pieck because of his ability to create settings we still honour and love today. Think of the stories of 1001 nights and a Christmas Carol for which Anton Pieck made the drawings. Also the Dutch theme park De Efteling was build thanks of the imageneering of Anton Pieck. [...]

Interactive Window

Joey van der Bie — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 21:21:37 +0000

Normally, windows in a house or office building serve a very functional purpuse: to see the world outside and still give a personal space for the inhabitant. We suggest that windows can be more. Windows and glass walls can be used as place for interactive art, a central design element in the room. For example [...]

Holle Bolle Gijs

Joey van der Bie — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 21:15:24 +0000

In the Dutch theme park de Efteling they have a talking trashcan for over 50 years now! To honour this, I made a ‘in house’ version for in my room. The Holle Bolle Gijs was also build to finish the Hardware & Physical computing course of the Media Technology program at the Leiden University. The [...]
