I had such strange problems getting started with OpenFrameworks that by the time I got to trying to make the add-ons work I just didn’t have time to deal with the lack of Windows instructions, so I did this assignment with Processing libraries instead. I chose two libraries that I found interesting but probably wouldn’t actually use together- blob detection and cell noise. I think cell noise is really interesting as a natural phenomenon and can make some really beautiful things. Blob detection seems like it could be useful for lots of interactive projects.

The biggest thing I learned from this project was that if I intend to use OF add-ons I should decide to get help or use the macs in the studio really early in the project…

Here’s a  video of some more generated noise.
