MigMap – A Virtual Cartography of European Migration Policies

Posted on 29th October, by max in Design. Comments Off

“MigMap conveys a picture of how and where the production of knowledge is currently taking place in the area of migration ‚Äö√Ñ√¨ and of who is participating in and has access to it. MigMap investigates precisely how the new forms of supranational governance that can be observed in the European migration regime function. It looks, for example, at how European standards in politics and civil society are implemented, and at the authorities, persons and institutions taking part in this process. It examines how the various key players in the public and private spheres are interrelated and funded, as well as at the ways in which these spheres overlap or differ in terms of focus, location or personnel. Finally, it analyses how responsibilities are allocated and legitimised ‚Äö√Ñ√¨ and explores the theories, data and discourses upon which current paradigms in migration …


Recreating Movement – Tools for Analyzing Film Sequences

Posted on 29th October, by max in Design. Comments Off

Recreating Movement is a computer program for analysing film sequences and has been developed within a diploma thesis. With the help of various filters and settings Recreating Movement makes it possible to extract single frames of any given film sequence and arranges them behind each other in a three-dimensional space. This creates a tube-like set of frames that “freezes” a particular time span in a film. By using the keyboard the viewer can browse through the sequence of frames, chose any kind of view of the sequence of frames and influence the displayed frames directly via a displayable menu bar.”


jQuery UI: Widgets, Components, and Interactions

Posted on 28th October, by max in Code. Comments Off

jQuery UI is a set of themable widgets and interactions, built on top of the jQuery JavaScript Library, that you can use to build highly interactive web applications. The core of the library revolves around different mouse interactions, namely drag and dropping, sorting, selecting, and resizing. On top of the core interactions are built a number of reusable widgets, including accordions, date pickers, dialogs, sliders, table sorters, and tabs. Finally, the library is finished off with a few effects that you can use to liven up your site, specifically magnifier and shadow.

Introducing a Cross Site AJAX Plugin for Prototype

Posted on 28th October, by max in Code. Comments Off

During cross site Ajax requests the standard XmlHttpRequest approach breaks down. The problem is that XmlHttpRequest is bounded by the same site policy. Fortunately the script tag has the freedom to do as it pleases.

Whitney Music Box – Visual Harmony

Posted on 28th October, by max in Design. Comments Off

A very fluid music visualization based on the film maker John Whitney. As the developer stated, “This weekend I’ve been playing, once again, with the ideas of experimental film pioneer John Whitney, using both graphics and audio. While Whitney was interested in turning musical ideas into motion graphics, I’m doing the inverse – turning one of his key animation ideas back into music. Whitney made a number of films based around the simple idea of harmonic relationships. Above is a visual example of one his ideas that I implemented in Flash.” Make sure you check out all of the variations in the right column. Great project.”


GigaPan – Gigapixel Images

Posted on 27th October, by max in Design. Comments Off

GigaPan consists of three technological developments: a robotic camera mount for capturing very high-resolution (gigapixel and up) panoramic images using a standard digital camera; custom software for constructing very high-resolution gigapixel panoramas; and, a new type of website for exploring, sharing and commenting on gigapixel panoramas and the detail our users will discover within them. The GigaPan website allows hosting and sharing all kinds of panoramas, and so the robotic GigaPan mount is recommended but is certainly not required to be part of this community.”

The OPTE Project – Mapping the Internet

Posted on 26th October, by max in Design. Comments Off

“This project was created to make a visual representation of a space that is very much one-dimensional, a metaphysical universe.The first goal of this project is to use a single computer and single Internet connection to map the location of every single class C network on the Internet. It is obvious that the Internet is not routed as a bunch of class-c networks, but it is easy to see that by treating the Internet IP space as a bunch of class C networks, it will be possible to make a detailed map of the entire Internet. The data represented and collected here serves a multitude of purposes: Modeling the Internet, analyzing wasted IP space, IP space distribution, detecting the result of natural disasters, weather, war, and esthetics/art.”Visit the website
