Bloccupy Revisited

I recently updated <Bloccupy> it’s an interactive media installation with kinect/video input, which I built for Projektil, Zurich in 2015. It wouldn’t run anymore for various minor reasons. plain old code-rot and no devs around to prevent it. while getting rid of some dust and freshing it all up, I did a nice screencast I […]
