Happy Fugio Friday!
And for those of you who signed up to the mailing list at Ars Electronica: welcome!
For those who weren’t in Linz, we were showing off the latest Fugio build running various patches, including a native OpenGL ES on a Raspberry Pi 3. There were also Fugio badges, stickers, and lots of interesting conversations!
There was a great deal of interest in the Raspberry Pi build, and several people suggested how it could be an excellent platform for educational programs, and cost effective too!
We also had several conversations on the topic of long term preservation of digital art, which is something I’ve built into the heart of Fugio since day one.
It was great to introduce people to Fugio in person and see their reactions and get their impressions of the software through fresh eyes. It’s given me some good ideas for how I want to proceed in the future with new tutorials and features.
For now, I’m focussing on native audio and video playback on the Raspberry Pi as my next major task. Will keep you posted…
As ever, please send me your ideas, feedback, and news of any Fugio projects that you’re working on, and have a great weekend!
