Old list of events

December 2nd, Stammtisch #37

Paolo Cirio
DDOS of the NATO website.
https://paolocirio.net/work/nato_cyber_attack/

A project about websites that blackmail people with criminal records by publishing their mugshots. Paolo used an obfuscation strategy, publishing copycat websites randomising the names and showing blurred pictures. Got cease and desist notice from some of them.

Looking for a front end coder who can help with right2remove.us. A service that
will help poor people who can’t afford it to automatically send a legal letter to Google to ask for removal of their personal information.

After getting the whole list of companies incorporated in the Cayman islands, Paolo generated Certificates of Incorporations in the name of existing firms, to “democratize tax avoidance”. Anyone can pretend to own the companies since they are anonymous.

Peter tells us a bit about the history of Quartz Composer.

He recently created BleedingEye, an OpenSource VJing software using C++ in OpenFrameworks.

Made OpenFramework compilable with CMake. Recommends CLion as an IDE.

Pascal
Project made a the Humbolt Universtity VR hackathon “Reality Sucks”.
Graph visualization in Mixed Reality using the HTC Vive.
Shows demo of Force-Directed graph in VR. Code on Github: https://github.com/pskl/vr-force-directed-graph
You can plug any kind of data.

Glitching 3D models (reference: http://www.srcxor.org/blog/3d-glitching/)
Pascal wanted to automate the process. Writing a library that takes any kind of .obj file and messes with it in many different ways (textures, vertices, etc). The end goal is to have a fully automated 3D glitching system that sends him a choice of PNG images by mail and publishes the ones he likes on his website. Work in progress code: https://github.com/pskl/glitch3D

Sound generation system made in OpenFrameworks.
http://dominofactory.net/works/dial_in_c.html

In 2012, Hiroshi started working with Ryoichi Kurokawa.
Unfold: http://www.ryoichikurokawa.com/project/unfold.html

Hiroshi shows us simulation videos of Node 5.5, Ryoichi Kurokawa’s last work, currently exhibited at the ACT festival in Korea. Four lasers with prisms mounted on horizontal actuators from Festo moving at 5 meter per second, firing pulses at a 18 meter wide screen. Sound comes from 58 speakers connected via Dante.

Coded in Cinder: https://libcinder.org/

Now Hiroshi will be looking for new opportunities.
