INTERACTIVE PROKARYOTE 2
It started as a video. Then it was a Flash interactive. Now I’ve ported the good ‘ol prokaryote to HTML5/Canvas using Processing.js, which is rad. While I’m glad that this latest version is theoretically accessible on any modern device/browser, authoring this stuff is waaaaay more time consuming than doing it in Flash. Or maybe I’m [...]

The video’s not really about that though… Check out my previous animated explainers on [...]

THE MEANING OF DREAMING

My first album, The Ownership Society, is no longer available on compact disc, though there may be some copies floating around on Amazon. If you would like a digital version (mp3) email me for details: macgregor (dot) campbell (at) gmail. Thanks for listening!
My second album (sort of), Insufficient Complexity, is now available on a pay-what-you-like basis. It's completely different from The Ownership Society.
