Apps That Inspire

October 30, 2010 4:46 PM

CreativeApplications.Net scours the net for platform independent apps that help sharing and engaging with information. They look at OSX, Windows, Linux, iPhone, Web Apps, Flash, Physical Interfaces, Max MSP development, Processing and others.

Recent favorites include Nemore, a garden, consisting of 36 bendable graphite poles. “Nemore” senses the visitor. Each pole has a behavior and reacts to it’s neighbors and to the visitor, the “alien neighbor.” feelSpace is a research project undertaken by students at the University of Osnabrück’s Institute of Cognitive Science. The project is based on the fascinating notion that the human brain is flexible enough to ‘learn’ a new sense. wiresq is an iPhone sound sequencer app based on Wireworld, a cellular automata. As you draw the cells and watch how they behave you can assign synths to each cell. They can then be individually modified using a three waveform subtractive synthesizer with an aggressive filter.

There are more than a thousand.

ha! look at that.

I am the developer of wiresq, and it is nice to see it float around the web. There are tons of cool apps on creativeapplications, and filip is a great advocate for artists/programmers.

I am in the middle of a feature rush for wiresq, so I got to get back to it.
