Last year in Berlin.

New directions in printmaking and AI tooling.

A few years ago, I built a primitive computer vision music player (Oracle) using analog video and a basic threshold detector with an Arduino.

This year was filled with travel around Europe and also back to the USA.

Last February, I moved to Berlin, Germany to connect with the global art world and explore new ideas in technology and art.

Making art in the pandemic age requires new perspectives on context, value, and presentation.

The language of art reviews can be enigmatic, dense, and obtuse.

I recently published a book of computer generated photographs and wanted to also generate the introductory text for it.

Pulverize craniums boldly.

A look back at the year in art for Lucidbeaming.

It’s been a prolific year for Lucidbeaming: multimedia art by Joshua Curry.

For this particular project, I ended up using a Raspberry Pi Zero W for its size and versatility.

It started with incendiary memories: looking at a fading bonfire with friends at the end of a good day, stoking the fire in a pot belly stove, and watching Haitian women cooking chicken over a bed of coals.

The goal of this particular box was to have the Linux soft-synth ZynAddSubFX running headless on a battery powered and untethered Raspberry Pi, controllable by a simple MIDI keyboard and an instrument switcher on my phone.
