Mario Breskic : Social Wall

Tested the waters today, trying to figure out if and how I can use the visual programming language of Processing (afaik it is based on Java) on my tablet.

The short answers are “yes” and “buggy”, so I will leave it at that.

I’ve used the tablet’s default screenshot option, since I seemingly can’t use any of the Processing image output functions on my tablet at all (an ipad), so unless I figure something out, this will be ‘make-do’.

I don’t expect this test to turn into something I want to do regularly, but who knows? You should’ve seen the smile on my face as I looked at the first compressed gif I made out of the first screenshot.

Everything has its own process. I can respect that. I think I will stay in the world of dots and points a while longer, and am looking forward to using Processing in this exploration of what Kandinsky (and others) have left behind to study in terms of graphic design foundations (see my previous post about dots as well, for context).
