plugincinema.com
plugincinema.com is a FluffyLogic project. It is a website dedicated to the exhibition, distribution and discussion of web films – that is films made for the Internet or for lower-bandwidth distribution. The site has been going for over six years and as a result of the experience and insight gained from it, has spawned the worlds first book dedicated to web films: Plug In & Turn On: A Guide to Internet Filmmaking (Published by Marion Boyars).
The site has a blog, updated by Ana and Tomas, with interesting links and issues that relate to digital video and the internet. It is also a forum that is being used by FluffyLogic and others to explore wider questions around film, interactivity and democratising media; current topics include Open Source media and an exploration of Diegetic Media, an approach to unifying media that exists on different platforms. plugincinema has its own mailing list. If you wish to be kept up-to-date with the developments of plugincinema, please sign up to the plugincinema mailing list.
Update: The book is now available as a free PDF!
HP Mediascapes
FluffyLogic created the Mediascape Wizards website for Hewlett and Packard as well as a few games to get you started (see here for more information). The website we created was a user-generated-content system that allowed anyone to build their own mediascape.
A mediascape is an interactive experience with text, images, audio and video in which your iPAQ communicates with you about locations (via GPS). Mediascapes can be games, experiences, guides or tools - whatever the user wishes them to be! The site, along with an iPAQ and its GPS connection, will allow the easy and quick creation of a unique mediascape for sharing with family, friends, colleagues and the the rest of the WWW. The Mscape wizard that was created by FluffyLogic was part of the technology used by Create-a-scape who won the Education category of the News Statesman New Media Award in 2007.
Catbot
CatBot is an open source system created by FluffyLogic. The system is designed for easy distribution of large files using peer-to-peer technology (p2p). A peer-to-peer system (aka file trading system) is a method of exchanging data that combines the networked, distributive power of each individual computer to enable an interconnected mesh of network bandwidth.
This is part of a plan for creating a system to unlock the creative archive of the South West by enabling institutions (in the first instance) to free their media files for distribution. It is intended that this network consist of a number of interlocking elements with the common factors that they be easy to implement, easy to use and free. It would place the control of content distributed in the hands of individual people and institutions.
The system consists of a network of peer-to-peer sites, all using a common system. CatBot is currently a collaborative project between FluffyLogic, Knowledge West, South West Screen, BMEX, Bristol University, Bath Spa University, the University of Gloucestershire and the University of the West of England.
CatBot is also part of Tomas's PhD work. You can follow the progress on the Catblog. CatBot has its own mailing list. If you wish to be kept up-to-date with the developments of CatBot, please sign up to the mailing list.
Green Bristol
Green MapGreen Bristol was an interactive website as part of a Green Mapping project. Green Maps are locally created maps that chart the natural and cultural environment. Using adaptable tools and a shared visual language of Green Map Icons to highlight green living resources, Green Maps cultivate citizen participation and community sustainability.
The technology for this project was created by FluffyLogic and is an Open Source project. This means that the technology that drive the systems you see here (known as the source code) is publicly owned – this means that anyone can take what has been done here and recycle, evolve and modify it to create their own Green Maps!
