Who’s Happy Now?happyrain is an interactive art project created from using jquery,
php, and social media information from twitter.
The interactive piece is dynamically created from happy feelings that have been tweeted from people between specific times using twitter. The piece explores dynamic art creation using social media and how to display updated mood based information data as an art form.
PHP was used to search twitter for today’s tweets that expressed happiness. jQuery was used to parse, animate and compose the data being presented. I hope to explore and inspire a unique perspective on what data is and how it may be translated into art.

These art pieces uses data and folksonomy as mediums to dynamically create art pieces based off Internet users, exploring ways of translating data into into interactive art pieces, to give a new perspective of what data is…or can be. The process involves using actionscript that frequently retrieves updated imagery based off abstract terms in which the internet users define. The intention is to research how people define abstract terms by using social media tools such as flickr and/or twitter…A visual & interactive exploration into folksonomy.

This ongoing interactive and print art series originally started in 2005. Using Adobe Flash, as3 and a web camera (webcam) as a medium, the interactive piece tracks motions perceived by the webcam.
The piece translates the motions and displays visual pieces in real time. The experimental art is an exploration into how we perceive objects and movement – how a machine may view objects and movement.

In recent news, I have some of my visual and interactive design work showcased in another design magazine. This time it’s
Practical Webdesign Magazine. In the December 2008 Issue183 in the .net/showcase/gallery section.
It features about 4 screen shots of some of my work and a written piece which states…
“Jon Montenegro

Company In house (Jon Montenegro)
URL In house
When we talk about navigation, we delve straight into the way we work with the web, yet for some people, a word processor or email client is actually a more familiar way of sharing content with users. In essence, that’s exactly what ‘experience director’ Jon Montenegro has done with his engaging site…”
“It simply lists content like emails, with the details in columns. These columns can then be changed to be viewed by client name, format, work, industry or year, much like how emails can be ordered by subject, date or size. The concept is so simple and bare-bones that it’s almost ridiculous that a site could prove successful by using this method. Yet Montenegro knows the power of the familiar and has created something instantly accessible.”

When I first heard about the development of the
Helvetica Film, I could not resist but donate to the production of the film.
I can’t help but get excited over this project and would like to see this concept become reality… So if you have not already, donate now. You can get some lovely Helvetica swag (posters, pins, etc) as well.
Helvetica is a feature-length independent documentary film about typography. The film is a production of Swiss Dots, in association with Veer. They are presently asking for donations to help finance the film.

This ongoing interactive and print art series originally started in 2004, and created for mobile phones and/or PDA devices. The interactive art piece utilizes Adobe’s Flashlite technology to obtain a persons cellphone signal as a medium. These cellphone signals are then used by a Flash based (AI) to interpret and create a personalized visual representation of the cellphone signals using Japanese kamons as a visual element.
These cellphone art pieces represent exploration into found interactive compositions, evolved from cell phone signals, influenced by Japanese culture and symbols.
Some artwork was selected to be featured in the Helio Art Gallery, Santa Monica, CA.
