Hi, folks! I'm Blake Shaw.
And this talk
is about Guile docs.
So let's
get started.
As noted in the emails
on the email list,
I am
doing the whole presentation from
the REPL (read-eval-print-loop)
So let me just load
the module
Okay.
So, the talk is called "Guix Docs:
seven maxims for simplicity"
I
will be giving a small overview
of the Guix docs
A lot of the conversation have been happening
on the mailing list and a lot
the stuff that I will cover
have been covered. So,
I wanted to focus on
seven
principals
seven declarative
principals because maxims are
essentially declarative principals
that I think integrate
a
scheme
like
philosophy
into
some principals that we can adopt
for
generally
rehabbing the whole
reference manual.
But before we get started
I'll just do some introducing
of myself.
So, I'm a new
media artist by
profession. That's how I make
living. Since
2009
I have run
a new media art collective called
"sweatshoppe" along with Bruno Levy
who is a
music video director and
and a
tattoo artist and a street artist
and I'm a digital artist
And
since...
when I was only 19 years old
we started this
collaboration that originally started
to develop as
an electronic music group
And then I
came up with this idea for this thing called
video painting which
really went viral and exploded
on the internet when I was
19. I was still an college.
We got invited to Art [Basel???]
like right after it came out
Totally crazy thing...
And that's led to
me
having been able to make
a living doing
these new media art installations
around the world
for the past decade.
And we have
shown in 40
cities around the world
actually all
show you a little video...
Just really
quickly...
(electronic music)
And so
video painting
the idea behind it
is that we are doing
a kind of [wheat???] paste style
of street art
These paint rollers that we built
that
using open
CV, open computer vision,
track the position
of infrared lights
within the paint roller and
wherever you roll it on the wall
the projector will
project video in that place
it allows us to
paint videos on
walls and
this thing is huge.
I have
to admit
it's still popular today
we are still, you know,
[???] hit up about
doing it somewhere
But for me personally,
By
doing this kind of work
is [???] satsifying.
