i love 3d scans as a method of capturing memories and time.
ive been making scans of places i regular or occasionally visit since 23 sept 2022, and im trying to append a script to show some of these places but am struggling to get threejs to work

in the meanwhile here you have some gifs

anyways, if im telling the truth i dont know much about what im doing when it comes to 3d or scanning technology.
i know what i like and what i dont like and i know enough in blender to make some projects to explain myself in a 3d context.
for example i always tended to use *.fbx as model exports instaid of *.obj because the app i like to use scaniverse says thats a widely used model export and also i like that it is only one file compared to obj which is 2 or 3 files depending on the program. Lately though ive been exporting *.ply models from scaniverse also because my good friend Lucas explained to me that you can also export point clouds from the app. Before knowing this whenever id need a point cloud id make one out of my model via the blender node system putting unnecessary strain on my poor M1 chip.

so not being a trained 3d artist also makes my renders WAAAY complicated and very unoptimized, this is also another reason why i want to use three.js instaid of using my usual P5. because i feel like threeJS is better optimized for 3d (or atleast id hope so) and also their material system is way nicer, but im still figuring out the asynchronic rendering and data flow.
i feel i should make a list of programs i like to use but maybe i wont do so within this blog post here..


lately ive been obsessed with slow scan photography and videography.
thanks to artists like Francios vogel. ive expirimented with some slit scan stuff in p5js which i will try to append in this here canvas...
i tried for a while but this shit is going nowhere, ill make a video of the sketch instaid.
p5 in the site is something ive got to get working. of course francoisvogel does this shit to the supreme and im nowhere near yet but i still find as an audiovisual exploration this to be an interesting technique.
Also speaking of scan techniques you CANNOT not talk about slow scan television this is my new favorite analogue technique made digital
it sounds amazing, distorts images in the most beautiful way and is also all round just super fun to mess around with.
anyways im up way past my bedtime. goodnight people wherever you are.

What better place to blog than on a plane to the other side of the world? right now im at 9448 meters up into the clouds and rising slowly(or quickly depending on how you look at it)


Im on my first solo flight flying to taiwan as we speak or at least as im writing. Its been a long day waiting for my flight at 9:30pm, but im excited because ill finally get to see my girlfriend after a long 4 months.

here is also a picture of me with my dad waiting on a horrific line which was forming in front of the checkin desk.
why people go for these horrific lines i cant tell you first of all just let me do my thing and visit my girlfriend for christmas, and second of all go home people. Im joking but you know the plane leaves at a set time so rushing to get through security feels at least sort of pointless.
anyways im rambling.. While waiting for the line to thin out a little i got some coffee which they poured into an EDIBLE CUP, ive never seen anything like this in my life. ediblecup, can you believe it?


Right now im watching a movie i downloaded earlier at the airport.

- Gunmo.1997.DVDRip.x264.mkv

its an interesting movie its about some people living in a trailer park i guess, im only 21 minutes in. i saw a clip by the director on the instagrams where he said that his perspective on moves was that hedoesnt believe in plots which is something i do feel like i understand watching this movie. it feels like im watching some slice of life or more like a documentary about these people's life.

i also just had some 8/10 airplane food. im kind of loopy because i stayed up till too late yesterday working on a deadline for my school. i was programming a synthesizer in cpp but it ended up being too loud i think that ill probably need to redo it at a later point. This really bums me out though because i tend to hold myself to a very high standard. Besides i stayed up until 4 in the morning for a few days in a row and now it's all for none.

anyways im tring to get my mind off of it by enjoying a movie.
this isnt as technical as the other blog posts but hey its a long flight and ive got some reading material i took with me. good part is uhhhhhhhhhh

i like long haul flights in that sense simply because of the amount of time i have to do a bunch of stuff. see im a bit of a nightowl and more importantly i cannot sleep in vehicles so this combined with a 15 hour flight means i have 15 hours to devote to whatever bullshit i want goodnight though at 23:50 amsterdam time on the 21st of december

this here is the blog before the nerding or whatever

My first repo every eye holds the fluids of life thank you for sharing.

7 sept 24

today was one day among many, every day fills every few.
a few moments shared with people, and some moments spent alone.


i woke up late, it mustve been around lunchtime cause my roommates were making a lot of noise in the hallway. i waited a second for them to leave so i could take a pee and make myself some coffee.
after an hour or so my mom called me because she was going to a yoga seminar in utrecht (which is where i am living right now).
she offered to bring some of my stuff from utrecht back to my hometown of Zoetermeer. this has to happen because im moving out of my current apartment next month.
she picked me up and we drove to her seminar so i could take her car back to my apartment for free parking while she was doing her thing. the seminar lasted about 3 hours which was great cause i had to clean my bathroom. after picking her up, we went to pick up the stuff im bringing back to Zoetermeer. stuff like sir Michael Perry Allen's 4 track reel to reel which i havent been using enough to cary it around with me though i want to so bad! but dont worry, itll get a nice little home in zoetermeer.

thanks for reading my cage.blog, love and byebye

its pretty cold here in my temporary home at the amsterdamsestraatweg in utrecht. its a cold day today and im feeling very unmotivated. Good news though yesterday i talked to my good friend Puk Bruinsma, and we finally finalised Wacko_ For release which is a load off my shoulders by which i mean that im so happy its finally finished.
this is a project ive been working on for the past 2 years and its great to finally have something made to show to the world.
