We're on our way, will arrive early on teusday.
We would love to see you when you're free!

Kisses,
Ann & Zevan.

This is a visualization of the frame differencing, when the people move, but before a color is selected. The text you see is all from our color database (almost 600 colors already). You'll need a webcam to view it, you'll notice it will capture the most subtle of motions. Give it a second to go to black before you start moving in front of your webcam. (you need flash 10 player)

Tamara, Sebastian and Massimo, if you have specific ideas for the visualization now is a good time to send us samples and ideas. Otherwise if you give us input on what we're doing it will be very helpful.

We just booked our trip to Madrid so we will be at MediaLab From May 4th to finish the project (we're going to stay about a week and a half, which should be enough time).

Ann and Zevan.

So the backend is 80% solid in Processing. We're currently sketching visuals using flash and porting to processing as needed.

In celebration of exceeding 500 colors here is an image containing all the colors that have been entered so far. The image is a 23x23 grid. We have around 509 colors so there are a a few extra black boxes at the bottom.

We have collected 493 colors. Our goal is 3000 and neither ann nor I have spent much time entering colors. If you're up for it. go through and add some more in 5 minute sessions once a day.

Our code works surprisingly well with only approximately 500 search terms, but the more we can get, the better:

Go add some colors in english:
http://mtcanvas.com/co/data_pop.html

Go add some colors in spanish:
http://mtcanvas.com/co/data_pop_sp.html

So the color picker works in spanish and english now but in separate links for the contributors:

english: http://mtcanvas.com/co/data_pop.html
spanish: http://mtcanvas.com/co/data_pop_sp.html

Please spread the word because we needs LOTS more colors in the database.

Also, if you can please enter yourselves more colors systematically (lots of different colors, not only saturated ones, as many as you possibly can, we need it)

I also updated the wordpress so if you invite people to contribute you can send them there for info.

thanks,
Ann.
