Based on an old parlor game, it was played by several people, each of whom would write a phrase on a sheet of paper, fold the paper to conceal part of it, and pass it on to the next player for his contribution. The technique got its name from results obtained in initial playing, "Le cadavre / exquis / boira / le vin / nouveau" (The exquisite corpse will drink the young wine). Other examples are: "The dormitory of friable little girls puts the odious box right" and "The Senegal oyster will eat the tricolor bread." These poetic fragments were felt to reveal what Nicolas Calas characterized as the "unconscious reality in the personality of the group" resulting from a process of what Ernst called "mental contagion."

Physical systems can exhibit complex behavior. With the use of computer simulations, it is possible to teach students about the nature of these systems without trudging through complicated differential equations. We found that several canned animations demonstrating physical phenomena existed on the web, but we noticed a surprising lack of full-up interactive physics simulation engines in Flash. We aimed to fill that void by developing a virtual physics lab using Flash (ActionScript 2.0). We modeled our work on the open-source Java project at www.MyPhysicsLab.com. ]]> http://www.roypardi.com/e11_07/2007/04/adobe_boston_users_group.html http://www.roypardi.com/e11_07/2007/04/adobe_boston_users_group.html Class Notes Wed, 18 Apr 2007 22:16:17 -0500 link) Network/Database Communication (link) (link) Masking (link) (link) Multidimensional Arrays (link) Sebastian will discuss these topics the following week: Components (link) (link) Imaging API/Drawing API (link)]]> http://www.roypardi.com/e11_07/2007/04/details.html http://www.roypardi.com/e11_07/2007/04/details.html Class Notes Sat, 14 Apr 2007 10:33:15 -0500 Download file Here is the list of topics we came up with.

This is intended to be a low stress quiz to identify any problems or questions in writing basic actionscript. You will be able to use the Flash help but not the completed 'faux pong' file elsewhere on this site. We will also answer questions and provide help in the event you get stuck. Project Submissions When submitting your projects, please do not send me the source. Instead you should .zip it, put it on your web site and send me the URL, along with the URL to view your project. Also, please name your Flash source file with the following convention: firstInitial_lastName_projectNumber.fla So my Project 3 would be: rPardi_p3.fla]]> http://www.roypardi.com/e11_07/2007/03/pop_quiz.html http://www.roypardi.com/e11_07/2007/03/pop_quiz.html Class Notes Wed, 21 Mar 2007 13:54:55 -0500 Incident web site, including some dealing with memory and time. --from the exhibit notes: THE DETAIL Between the subject and the object, between the perceiver and the perceived. As we shift from the detail to the entirety, the change in scale is ascertained through comparison. Can a detail exist all by itself? Would it still be a detail? Do we have to stop once we arrive at the detail? Can't we just keep going until the detail breaks up into endless fragments of further details?]]> http://www.roypardi.com/e11_07/2007/03/the_detail_exhibit_at_incident.html http://www.roypardi.com/e11_07/2007/03/the_detail_exhibit_at_incident.html Class Notes Wed, 21 Mar 2007 13:47:58 -0500
