Slash Links is live!.....

A friend of mine at the Eyebeam OpenLab, Ben, just released SlashLinks. He writes:

SlashLinks is a tool developed by Eyebeam R&D for automatically mirroring links from the popular social-bookmarking service del.icio.us to your personal or institutional website. Posting, tagging, and management still occur within the del.icio.us interface, but design and layout can now be fully customized on your mirrored site. The tool also adds blog-like year/month/day archives (similar to Kottke.org's remaindered links) to the typical del.icio.us or flickr style tag browsing.

SlashLinks was motivated, in part, by the desire to keep the intuitive URL navigation provided by del.icio.us and common with blogs while allowing for design/layout customization to suit the user's taste. Additionally, when republished on your own site, all of your links become accessible to search engines -- effectively casting your vote for what other sites or pages deserve top placement in search results.

Now my del.icio.us links reside on my own server.... and most importantly they look HOT. Check them out here:

DeTouch on WAMC public radio....

I did a radio interview in relation to the Art of DeTouch project I recently completed as a part of the Eyebeam OpenLab. It was for a New York public radio station WAMC. You can listen to the entire Weekly Rundown program here, or just my interview here. Big thanks to Mary and everyone at WAMC for inviting me on their program.

The Art of De-Touch

I'm happy to release my first project completed at the Eyebeam Openlab. The Art of De-Touch is an interactive online application that allows you to see how touch up artists are altering model photographs.

The Art of De-Touch explores the manipulation of images related to the human form. Drawing photographs from existing online portfolio sites of professional re-touch artists, this application allows a user to explore precisely how the images were altered. Using Processing, an open source programming language and environment, before and after images are compared algorithmically pixel by pixel to generate visualizations of the alterations.

Create different visualizations by clicking the boxes along the top of the application. View model images from various websites by clicking the boxes along the side, and move the dragger to see different levels of alteration.

Big thanks to Eyebeam, Electric Artists for sponsoring the project, and Zach Lieberman whose data visualization course sparked the impetuous for the project.
