This exhibition presents the results of a unique experiment. For 17 days, 30 members of the Audiencia Zero Labs from all over the country and also abroad lived and worked together on collective projects. New teams were formed, infinite ideas proposed, new tools and technologies experimented with, incredible adventures lived and new friends made. The projects at this exhibit are just the tip of the veil, the true impact of this experience is yet to come.

This Saturday we were present at SITU’ARTE, organized by Galeria Ícone, showing some of our work to the masses:

Starting with a 30 minute projection of the following works of xDA members:
Outside demo by Ill
fr-045: life after demo by Farbrausch
Taxesss demo by Nothing
dp demo by Nothing
Harmony intro by UVA
Sunflower demo by VS*
Float demo by V*

V* also took some time to help out IN ANIMA with some projection for their dance performance.

Tiago showcased Graffiti Spines on a huge façade.

And ps gave away some Enough Records flyers, free music for free people!

Pictures should follow soon.

This weekend was wild on computer vision related stuff. Did some 3D scanning with Mónica Mendes using a well known vision technique called structured light. Pretty impressive results

“Structured light is the process of projecting a known pattern of pixels (often grids or horizontal bars) on to a scene. The way that these deform when striking surfaces allows vision systems to calculate the depth and surface information of the objects in the scene, as used in structured light 3D scanners.” — Wikipedia

Pedro Ângelo and Mónica Mendes have been working hard on their B-Wind installation and it’s practicaly finished. They’ll be making a post about it but in the meantime check this preliminary photos:

Also, me, Catarina Mota and Joel Belouet worked on a pan-tilt mount for the PS3Eye camera on OpenScad. We’ll get the design out once we get it really polished, and post it to Thingiverse too. Once we do that you’ll be able to print it (on a 3D printed like our Makerbot) and have your own pan and tilt mount for your awesome computer vision app

Para celebrar o dia da cidade de Coimbra a Galeria Icone está a organizar o festival SITU’ARTE no pátio da inquisição. O xDA está à ajudar com projecções interactivas, um demoshow e possivelmente uma banquinha dedicada ao netaudio, portantos marquem na agenda e apareçam!

There have been meetings and demoparties put together in the past, but none other is quite like inérciaDemoparty2005. In case you missed it this year again we have a little video for you to check out the gamedev show and tell, demo competition and generic digital art mischief:

And while we are at it, also the full video of the winner demo, it’s called Float and it was put together by our very own xDA member V*

Results and releases available at the website. Thank yous to the folks at LCD and everyone who showed up and participated at the event. Best portuguese demoparty of 2010 so far.

We’ve been working hard so we deserved to upgrade our hackerspace .
We’re pleased to announce that we just settled at our amazing new xDA for the creative future to come.

Meet Casa da Esquina and make sure you stop by at our weekly gatherings, Tuesdays 9pm.

Consider yourself invited to this years edition of iD05, happening 1-2 May 2010 at LCD headquarters in Porto.
