First assignments.=:

Jasper: movie to svg. Interesting: you can work on every pixel and do transformations on that.

Andre: clock and bars. Uploading a working clock on Open Clipart

Jonas: in search of lost time by Proust, in-place assignment. Example: text = text[0:10]

Inge: Random graphics. What kind of randomness?

Mad libs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mad_Libs

mixing svg and text?

(Bourroughs and cut ups): “When you cut into the present the future leaks out.”

Laurier: Markov chain from Gutenberg project in order to create links among words.

Second assignment: making a Inkscape plugin.

Issues:

  • Reflecting on software usage. What is Inkscape for? How do people use it?
  • Considering the possibilities: which features can be tweaked?
  • Mixing with other resources, archives
  • Lorem ipsum generator
