Nice li’l article on p-comp in South Africa by Carine Zaayman in Artthrob this month.<\/a> Granted, I’m more than biased, since it’s mostly about Ralphy Borland and me, but it’s really cool to see such a staple arts publication making a statement like that. Must read<\/i> if you have no idea what the title of this post means….<\/p>\n

With regards to finding info on p-comp in SA, Ralphy Borland’s site<\/a> has way more than mine, but I gotta give props to Tom Igoe<\/a>, and the book<\/a> he wrote with Dan O’Sullivan for getting started. If in Natal, no need to feel left out — Colleen Alborough has a beautiful p-comp installation up at KZNSA for another few weeks! She used the aforementioned book (with a little help from Borland) to teach herself how to hook up alarm-based motion sensors to her computer , and use them as triggers for projected animations and sonic treats.<\/p>\n

And speaking of community, I am still taking guest bloggers on: contact me<\/a> if you are interested in writing on this site. No restrictions on anything other than image sizes! Oh, and no porn or torrentz (I’m not The Man, please be reasonable)…. Would love to get some SA peops outside of the Gauteng area for a change (tho am still accepting writers IN that area).<\/p>\n
