For my first assignment, the creative coding project that I found was Land Lines by Zach Lieberman. In this project, the audience is able to draw lines and shapes and then the program matches it with a satellite image on Google Maps.
How long do you think it took to make that project, and how many people were involved?
- I think that a project like this that requires a vast amount of images to match with the lines and shapes a viewer can draw, a good estimate for this project to work the way they want it to would probably take a few months, maybe 4-6 months. It is said this was created by Lieberman and the Data Arts Team (not stated how many people are in this team except it is small) so probably a good 6-10 people.
What sort of materials do they use to create it?
- Google Maps satellite images
- Shapes and Lines
- some code that would be able to track the movements of the shapes and lines the viewer is creating
- another code that would go through their gallery of images and connect the shape/line with the images
