lecture japonaise 2009

L'Histoire de Nintendo par Florent Gorges édité par Pix'n love. Et je recommande le reste de leurs ouvrages qui sont très pointu.

Les Japonais par Karyn Poupée édité par Tallandier. Une lecture intéressante et qui permet de faire des parallèles avec L'histoire de Nintendo. On y découvre pas mal de choses même quand on a résidé un temps au Japon. Je sais maintenant que quand on va dans un conbini (convenience store) le caissier ne fait pas que vous rendre la monnaie mais il envoie aussi à la maison mère votre sexe, votre tranche d'âge et d'autres informations utiles pour de futurs études de marché.

Et enfin le dictionnaire des monstres japonais " Yôkai" par Shigeru Mizuki édité par Pika pour découvrir la riche et étrange diversité de Yôkai, du monstre sandale Bakezôri au Tengu (un peu plus qu'un yôkai) qui aurait inspiré Fusajirô Yamauchi lorsqu'il créa le nom Nintendo.

exposition de RR à L'ESAD d'Amiens

l’exposition “DIY” réunit trois installations qui, au-delà d’une simple
volonté de récupération, proposent l’amplification radicale de certains
phénomènes sociaux et culturels. L’ensemble constitue une alternative à la
sur-consommation en proposant des pratiques autonomes, situées entre le
bricolage et le “Do It Yourself”. Trois visions à la fois ludiques,
critiques, généreuses et décomplexées.


du 3 février au 20 février 2009, du lundi au vendredi de 13h à 18

paper toys

I'm working actually on a project of a CrafToys generator on Processing. Like my old project "Pince Vocale"


to produce some paper avatar, ready to manifest their opinion like this small Eniarofer with eniarof placards


I would like to print automatically the template in the Processing application. After some research on internet I've found my treasure, some function in the library java.awt.print


----------------------------------------------

a small function below, just for print the screen :


void printscreen()
{
try {
java.awt.print.PrinterJob pjob = java.awt.print.PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
pjob.setJobName("monvisuel");
pjob.setCopies(1);
pjob.setPrintable(new java.awt.print.Printable() {
public int print(Graphics pg, java.awt.print.PageFormat pf, int pageNum) {
if (pageNum > 0)
return java.awt.print.Printable.NO_SUCH_PAGE;

superPaint(pg);

return java.awt.print.Printable.PAGE_EXISTS;
}
});

// comment the 2 line to avoid printer dialog box
if (pjob.printDialog() == false)
return;

pjob.print();
} catch (java.awt.print.PrinterException pe) {

}
}

void superPaint(Graphics g) {
super.paint(g);
}

Workshop Processing-Arduino Ensad

I taught in a workshop on Processing and Arduino during a week in the ENSAD school - Paris :

Test Oterp demo 0.00000001 in Madrid

debug psp video

sometimes the debug screen appear too fast on psp. The solution to read the bug is to film your psp and after read the bug. A little complicate but a funny debug methode.

Patch & KO at Gamerz 02

just a short post to announce one of my participation "Patch & Ko" in collaboration with Manuel Braun aka Decept.org for the exhibition Gamerz 02 15 to 25 january.
Our installation is a mix of the videogame Streetfighter 2 and something like a bean machine by F.Galton, pachinko, marble game or Rube Goldberg machine. How to control a video game with a random and chaotic game. A random patch to play at this game.
About this idea and relation between video game and pachinko I recommand to read the chapter 8 in "Trigger Happy" by Steven Poole.
