Blebs Applet

Blebs (Golan Levin, January 1997) was one of my first simulation sketches, a small bouncy cellular toy. In the simulation, "sticky" balls adhere to each other, forming organic arrangements governed by springlike forces. The user can attach, detach, and fling the sticky cells across the canvas.

Golan LevinMeshy (1998, revised 2006) is an interactive drawing environment in which the user's strokes scaffold a gauzy mesh of animated elements. The mesh continually bridges the user's two most recent movements; by making new marks, users can tease and torque the mesh in real-time.

Golan LevinMessa di Voce (2003: Golan Levin, Zachary Lieberman, Jaap Blonk, and Joan La Barbara) augments the speech, shouts and songs produced by two virtuoso vocalists with real-time interactive visualizations. The project touches on themes of abstract communication, synaesthetic relationships, cartoon language, and writing and scoring systems, within the context of a sophisticated, playful, and virtuosic audiovisual narrative.
