Blizzard Machinery in Two Virtual Worlds 5x Sped-up Version of the video created for the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design talk this coming Wednesday. The full version will be shown, as well as a number of other pieces. http://www.alansondheim.org/NSCADquik.mp4 The blizzard textures and videos link the two worlds together. I am not of this world. I am of the avian kind, caught in branch phenomena utterly foreign to me. I am imperfect starling. Also I am ice. http://www.alansondheim.org/icestorm37.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/icestorm40.jpg I run the statistics panel in the center of the image. It parameterizes the image, gives it coherence, processing values. It's the pulse of the image. Also it's the breath. Now I cannot breathe, there are too many wonderful things to say. I will listen to you if you speak clearly. I am an avatar caught in ice. Also I am caught in prims and meshes.
