Created by Mike Tucker and published by CreativeApplications.Net, RetroScreen is an interactive incarnation of the older generation screensavers now designed for the iPad / iPhone and iPod Touch. If you can recall the days of endlessly starring at your PC/Mac screen watching the ‘amazing’ graphics and miss the innocence of 90’s computing platforms, you can now indulge your nostalgia with RetroScreen.
RetroScreen is a collaboration between CAN and Mike bringing you not one but five different modes in RetroScreen, each taking full advantage of multitouch. The first mode includes a deforming curve, second a polygon, third just points, fourth a filled shape and last but not least a line revolving around the centre of the screen. All modes include ability to add additional points resulting in visually stunning output.
Controls:
• Tap and drag to control a point.
• Double tap to delete a point.
• Double tap anywhere else to add a new point..
• And don’t forget, you can take screenshots in any app by clicking Home and the Sleep/Wake button at the same time.
Made with openFrameworks, an open source C++ toolkit.
..a CreativeApplications.Net application.

Created by Agoston Nagy, Atlås is an ‘anti game environment’ that generates music in a conversational cognitive space. The app includes automatically generated tasks that are solved by machine intelligence without the need of human input. Agoston questions ad infinitum (ability to continue forever), presence, human cognition, imagination, and more broadly corporate driven automatisms and advanced listening practices.
