Color shift
My intent for this project was to enhance my skills in MaxMSP, this includes understanding objects, messages, order, functions, some math, and computer relations.
With the mouse as my guide, I was visually interested in overlaying a photographic image with shape and color. Aesthetically, I wanted to make something that suggested size, color shift, and movement. From big-small red square to a small-big blue square, my conceptual interest exists between the red and blue color shifts. Less then a second, I am interested in finding out what occurs within this gap.
A Fairly basic idea, I found the project to be much more complex than I had envisioned. Made up of triggers, bangs, gates, and line objects, the project required a lot of close observation. Similar to arranging a puzzle, my patch demanded lots of patience, endurance, and time.
MaxMSP-Jitter, although very complicated, has opened up many doors. Still struggling to find the right keys, I have hope that I will soon gain a better understanding of this program. My future goal is to develop interactive projects that suggest and investigate space. The energetic makeup of our environment is something that fascinates me. Jitter will give me the tools I need and provide a closer look.
What can I say, the future looks hopeful!
