I like how easy it is to control a webcam inside flash. A lot of people have a webcam and the flash plugin so you can easily use it for a project or website.

I already did a few experiments with webcams.

1. Fade in- fade out, when you stop moving you will fade out.
2. Time for time. Based on the first experiment this is an installation that will only give you time when you give it time. You have to stop moving.
3. The third experiment I did used motion detection and connected fading logos to motion.
4. For eclectro we started doing DJ-sets using webcams and the Ustream service, I was the first to play.
5. A few years ago I made a short video about war. I recorded television with my webcam and changed meaning.

This is experiment 6. The Aphextwinalizer. With this webcam application you can make a screenshot with your face on your favorite record cover. Right now there is just one cover by Aphex Twin. I will post this also on the Eclectro blog and ask readers for other great covers, so I can extend the application.

A screenshot of the application, make your own cover at www.wilbertbaan.nl/aphextwinalizer/, have fun.

Help me to make it better
I’m looking for more great covers, if you know a great one, please let me know by leaving a comment with a hyperlink to the image. The minimal resolution should be 500 pixels width/height. And it should be possible to cut out the face.
