More Compressionism, plus bonus life and art details (in short review)

Wow. I almost forgot I had a blog. It’s been a while, hasn’t it?
I’ve been working on a whole lot of art. Video-print-object things like this, scanner stuff like that, interactive installations like these (actually, mostly been updating a few of these pieces to new versions with openFrameworks, while brainstorming a new piece), and this [...]
