*I would recommend paying attention to what James Bridle is saying here #deadmedia #technologyart
Digital work is often ephemeral, it takes time, work, and money to keep it alive and accessible. In this case, moving video hosting from Vimeo to Dropbox, updating links, broken old code, and moving to a subdomain of my own site, all intended to reduce costs and make the work viable in the long-term

"Reverse-engineering the data streamed by the device took about 30 minutes with Codex". #deadmedia #AI #WTF
I'm gonna keep a small diary of my reverse engineering work in this thread. Basically, I'm finding obsolete, poorly documented, and/or poorly supported sensing devices, and getting them to produce legible open data for my Creative Coding and Experimental Capture students.
