Daniel Hirschmann’s generative painting system, Engine 26, was presented at

the Whitney Museum of Contemporary Art’s Gala event in New York City recently. The piece is the latest in a series of generative painting works Daniel has developed using Processing and Arduino. Daniel used Arduino to control DMX systems for the exhibit. He’s done a number of other DMX projects, many of them Arduino-based.

For more on Daniel’s other work, including Tuned Stairway, an Arduino-driven musical stairway from 2006  that’s a precursor to FunTheory’s Piano Stairs, see danielhirschmann.com. Engine 26 will be showing at other events in the near future. If it’s near you, check it out, and buy Daniel a beer and ask him for a story or two.
