[eu-gene] Music generated from pictures

[Tim Thompson]

Good point!  I worked with a group of NYU students this past July at Univ of
Genova, and they came up with some very interesting artistic ideas for
this--and some less inspired as well.  The difference in this session was
the use of EyesWeb software for video-driven motion analysis, rather than
sensors.  If you haven't checked out EyesWeb, I think it deserves a look.
Presently, it only runs on Intel with Windows.  The folks at DIST in the
engineering faculty of U. Genova are doing some interesting work.

Be careful not to confuse widespread uninspired implementations with the
concept itself. ;-)

Blame the artist!
