GulliBloon is a message centric communication framework for advanced pseudo-realtime sonic and visual content generation. It is built on top of Dxowiki:OpenSoundControl and consists of a collection of programs as well as the entirety of protocol these programs define. the exact configuration of a GulliBloonNode may vary strongly among different sites. 

At the heart of it all there's a server keeping track of all the messages that are available, who is supposed to receive which of these messages and a couple of other things. Meet GsrV2. This piece on its own can be used to easily share data among any kinds of OSC-capable peers. For a list of which languages and environments support it check Pdwiki:OpenSoundControl. Additionally GsrV2 support connection on so called plaintext sockets on TCP and UDP. this provides the link to the flash-apps mentioned below. 

 

The next part of GulliBloon is a modular application built on top of this subscription-based setup. The objective is to collect a lot of data from the net and elsewhere and broadcast it onto the multiplexer to every interested client's avail. implemented so far is network traffic info (raw packets and a dynamic hostmap featuring hosts, connections, distance from point of interception, connection thruput and possibly OS detection), logfile events, system status and some other utilies like JoySend. 

A third layer could be identified as flash apps (GulizEr) and a bunch of PureData and SuperCollider patches that translate all this beautiful and meticulously collected streams and arrangements of numbers into signals suited for eyes and ears. 

here is a simple GulliDiagram (read: coloured picture) of how all this is connected. 

 

 

this is the main repository for GulliBloon related data, links, texts and documentation. first to come is the listing and descritpion of the so far existing modules. GulliBloon is part of and supported by http://localtask.mur.at
