Scratch Markup Language Fader Hack
http://fffff.at/scratch-markup-language-fader-hack/
How did we track the crossfader during the Art Hack Day?!? ZOMG!! So many questions! The answer is very simple! We used a VCA Mixer. Specifically the Vestax PMC-07 Pro. Because you know… we’re pro like that. I hear you asking now, “But, sir! WTF is a VCA Mixer?!?!” Well, I’m glad you asked. Allow me to explain: VCA or Voltage Controlled Amplifier means that instead of sending the audio signal to the crossfader the mixer instead sends a voltage which in turn controls the volume level for each channel. This makes determining the position of the fader very easy; simply measure the voltage for each channel. In the case of the PMC-07 Pro the voltage that is sent to the crossfader is 10V DC. We used an Arduino Uno to monitor the voltage. It maxes out at 5V. Not wanting to explode the Arduino with 10V we used a simple voltage divider on each channel utilizing two (four total) 1 megaohm resistors. We would have been a lot better off using 100 kilohm resistors. Using an opamp would have been even more betterer but… we didn’t have any of those.
Because we’re so damn pro and didn’t have any of the parts to make a proper Y cable we just soldered everything to the crossfader.
Go team awesome!
Yes, I hear you. You’re wondering, “That’s all well and good, but how am I supposed to hook it all up?!?”
Simple! Follow these amazeball instructions. The PMC-07 Pro uses a 4 pin connector on the crossfader. The outside pins are power and ground the middle pins are for the channels. Use a volt meter to determine which pin is power and which pin is ground. Plug ground into one of the ground pins on the Arduino and the two center pins from the fader through a voltage divider and into two analog pins on the Arduino. We used A0 and A1. You do not need to hook anything up to the 10V power pin on the mixer. Got it?
Here I drew you a picture too! CLICK TO EMBIGGEN
The Arduino sketch we used can be found here. In summation here is a list of items you must procure to do this:
Vestax PMC-07 Pro mixer (Any VCA mixer will do, just drop the voltage to 5V or less.) Four 100 kilohm resistors An Arduino A proper Y cable for the PMC-07 Pro. Instructable for building it is here Arduino sketch found here
Build your Y cable. Make a couple voltage dividers. Hook it up like the picture above and BLAMO!

Scratch Markup Language (.sml)
http://fffff.at/scratch-markup-language-sml/
SML (Scratch Markup Language) is a new file format for recording and replaying turntablism. We’ve developed open-source tools for accurately capturing the record and crossfader movements of a scratch DJ, allowing us to analyze, transcribe, and recreate scratch performances. We want to do for turntablism what Graffiti Markup Language has done for tagging — especially teaching giant robot arms how to scratch. At Art Hack Day we collaborated with other artists and programmers to develop the first prototypes of ScratchML. We used timecode vinyl to capture record movements ($10) and a hacked VCA fader + Arduino to record the crossfader ($30). Scratch data was saved to disk as .sml and broadcast as OSC, which allowed other Art Hack Day participants to build visualizations based on what the DJ was scratching during the exhibition. The apps ranged from spinning-vinyl animations and TTM transcriptions to insane exploding 3D pizzas and a side-scrolling videogame shooter controlled by scratches. Our goal is to make capturing, replaying, and sharing a scratch performance accurate and easy. SML files can be freely uploaded and downloaded from the ScratchML.com database. We’re particularly looking forward to improving the experience of learning how to scratch — e.g. by building apps that show you just how accurate your autobahn scratches actually are. Throughout the week here on FAT we’ll be publishing ScratchML projects created during Art Hack Day, data specs, source code, hardware modification details and more. Want to get involved? Join the ScratchML mailing list, follow us on GitHub, or email me with any questions. More info to come at scratchML.com

FAT vs. Art Hack Day
http://fffff.at/fat-vs-art-hack-day/
Kyle McDonald and I will be developing a new project at the upcoming Art Hack Day in Brooklyn, which culminates in a public art exhibition at 319 Scholes on Saturday, 1/28 at 7pm. Internet, you are invited to attend and see what we come up with. There will be art, technology, free beer (as in beer) and free source code (as in speech).
Over the next few days Kyle and I will be working on the first prototypes of Scratch Markup Language, an open-source system for capturing, describing and digitizing turntablism. The project is inspired by our previous work developing Graffiti Markup Language, and we hope to do for scratching what GML has done for tagging — including teaching giant robots how to do graffiti.
Want to get involved? Sign up for the ScratchML mailing list, follow @scratchML on GitHub or join #fatlab IRC and ping @jamiew

Star Wars Uncut: Director’s Cut Finally, the crowd-sourced project has been stitched together and put online for your viewing pleasure. The Director’s Cut is a feature-length film that contains hand-picked scenes from the entire StarWarsUncut.com collection. Many thanks to Aaron Valdez (video editor) and Bryan Pugh (sound design/mixing) for the countless hours they put into this masterpiece. The Story: In 2009, thousands of Internet users were asked to remake “Star Wars: A New Hope” into a fan film, 15 seconds at a time. Contributors were allowed to recreate scenes from Star Wars however they wanted. Within just a few months SWU grew into a wild success. The creativity that poured into the project was unimaginable. SWU has been featured in documentaries, news features and conferences around the world for its unique appeal. In 2010 we won a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Creative Achievement In Interactive Media. We can’t thank everyone enough for making this such a special project. Watch it now.

Mittens Romney – Browser Extension
http://fffff.at/mittens-romney-extension/
This a browser extension which turns all instances of Mitt Romney to Mittens Romney on web pages. ( Mitt is short for Mittens!!!! ) I’m convinced that nobody in the US would accept having a president named Mittens, so I am releasing a tool to highlight his real ( and rather cute ) name. Screen shot of the installed extension:
A huffington post article made that bit more silly:
An example google search (before & after installing Mittens):
Install Mittens: What are you waiting for? Get Mittens Now! Click to install Mittens Chrome Extension
Download and Install Mittens Safari Extension ( then double click to install ) Click to install Mittens Firefox Extension Note: Firefox version was automatically made with this tool and isn’t working on google search results. Working on getting it working 100%. You can grab the code or contribute to the project on github: https://github.com/ofTheo/mittens/ Credits: Made by Theo Watson. Thanks to Greg Leuch for Shaved Biever which the Chrome version is based off of. Icon is from the header from this cat heavy Mittens Romney site.

OCCU(PI) Bot
Learning from the lessons of the 1%, I set forth to outsource our occupy-related labor to a robotic workforce. Robots obviously have many advantages over their human counterparts. For instance, robots never get tired, they don’t get cold, they don’t sleep, nor eat, don’t require tents, and when armed insurrection becomes necessary, robots are much more morally ambivalent. Additionally, we had a discussion with an unnamed member of the San Francisco police force and they confided in us that the police currently do not have any plan for dealing with robotic occupiers. For all of those reasons and more, I present to you Occu(pi) Bot; the first in a promising line of tireless, unstoppable, robotic class warriors. Learn how to make your own: http://instructables.com/r/occupy/

The Googlher
The Googlher is a device which plugs into your computer and triggers a bullet vibrator any time that Google pings your web browser (with the aid of The Googlher Firefox Add-on). By doing so, The Googlher translates Google’s pervasive reach into highly stimulating vibrations for vaginal or anal web browsing. Mistrust and fear Google’s omnipotent ways no longer as the web giant profoundly soothes, touches, and moves you. This is perhaps the biggest thing to happen to augmented reality since the invention of methamphetamine.
The Googlher was produced with both open source software and hardware. For full instructions on how to make your own, visit the instructions page. The Googlher Firefox Add-on is based on Jamie Wilkinson’s Google Alarm.

QR Code Stenciler Final Update
http://fffff.at/qr-code-stenciler-update/
This post is a brief alert to announce the final (updated, v.1.1) release of the F.A.T. Lab’s QR_STENCILER software. This tool is a free, fully-automated utility that converts QR codes into vector-based stencil patterns suitable for laser-cutting. The QR_STENCILER is described in full detail in our 19 July blog post. The newest version of the QR_STENCILER adds the following functionality:
Options allowing both black-on-white and white-on-black (“reverse”) stenciling; A graphical user interface with checkboxes and sliders from the ControlP5 library; Rounded corner options (including both circular arcs and Bezier curves); Precompiled executables for Mac OSX, Windows and Linux; Vector path simplification for improved lasercutting.
Moreover, the QR_STENCILER can now be downloaded from the following 3 locations:
As a ZIP file From the F.A.T. Lab website (Version 1.1, 3 August 2011, 15MB), including compiled Mac/Win/Linux applications. As a Java applet on OpenProcessing.org. This is primarily for pedagogic purposes and quick reference, as the in-browser Java virtual machine does not permit the exporting of stencil PDFs. As a code repository on Github. Any future updates to this project will be found there.
Thank you for your interest in this project, and happy stenciling. The F.A.T. Lab staff

Digital Purchase Takedown Notice
http://fffff.at/digital-purchase-takedown-notice/
As net.art is entering into widespread recognition, a trend of purchasing is occurring by interested collectors. Instead of the takedowns typically seen from Homeland Security / FBI domain seizures, collectors are issuing their own takedown notices as digital web pages are being entered into private galleries & museums, removing these pieces from the public visibility that gave these artists and their digital works their viewing audience. Don’t be surprised when you see a digital purchase takedown notice on your favorite net.art piece. Make your own: Download the Purchase Takedown Notice PSD (1.2MB).
