=== late adds by Gert 20120114 ===

   * A little thing I just found: http://www.openprocessing.org/visuals/?visualID=1261

   * Inkscape, the open source svg editor supports all 17 symmetries: http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/Tiles-Symmetries.html
      * Inkscape is scriptable via python, as I take: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/PythonEffectTutorial.
      * May be usable for some step-by-step processing of live video footage?

I'm espcially happy about the room-modes & schuman references, since they close the circle to something we already discussed and tried (not too successfully me thinketh) @ ICA & waves. it's a lets make it work moment :)

I tried to compile scopeshapes for Intel, but failed so far. how would we translate the oscilloscope output?

I'll bring two Wiimotes, but rather than waving them around i was hoping to use the IR input. lets fix diodes to Marcus' hands for his Cello performance :) OSC enabled version avlbl.


I keep these very brief, essentially list of links.


=== A few notes from skype call with Gert, Nik, Mathias 20111216 ===

   * A Computational Model for Periodic Pattern Perception Based on Frieze and Wallpaper Groups
         * http://www.ri.cmu.edu/pub_files/pub4/liu_yanxi_2004_1/liu_yanxi_2004_1.pdf
   * This is a paper by Stephen Hyde discussing some of the ideas that have been influencing Mathias' recent work on geometry and structure

   * One of the things mentioned in the above paper is the Gavrog project - Unified Tiling Theory. The background presentations at the bottom of the page are very useful

=== From emails from Russ to Mathias ===

OK just FWDing info of the stuff im interested in and have that maybe good for snape!?
its totally about symmetry!

here is the software i spoke off:
   * http://www.chrismeighan.com/projects/scopeshapes

if we could make these .DXF files we could have text+

i have this device that can generate much better material than in this video:

i dont know of it will be in the UK by the time of the residency, but i have one of these due:
