Sources of lost in time liberated
Moments lost in time,
like tears in the rain. was first exhibited in november 2005
the collection of four interactive video installations was first
exhibited at Galleri Barbara
Hansen in Oslo. The exhibit consisted of four works, now by
then, deja-vu, ghost mirror and
recursive subdivision. Now by then was also shown at the shown
SIGGRAPH art gallery in 2006.
When I pondered whether it would be possible to finance some of the
equipment and materials needed for the original exhibition I also
desired the code and underlying code logic to be reusable by myself and
others in other projects. The result was a discount scheme based sales
model, where licenses that I hope increase the chances of
myself seeing new and interesting derivative work that I will both have
the ability to study and elaborate on.
For an Digitale Spor an outdoor
art track in Bergen January 2006 various digital art works were
desired. I was contact about the possibility of having works from
lost in time be part of the exhibition. The Media Centre at
Bergen University College chose to option of paying
to liberate the sources under GPL which had the largest discount of
the full price (90% discount).
You can now download the
source and compile, play, experiment and perhaps tinker with
the code creating new interesting things.
The installations are written using gggl as the graph based
processing engine. At the moment GEGL
does not perform well enough to drive the installations in real time,
I do however at some point plan to port now by then to be a
plug-in for GEGL that exercises and pushes the envelope for the caching
infrastructure further.
