Old list of events

August 9th, Stammtisch #64

Today as a new introductions format, we had 10 minutes to talk to people we don’t know.

Lisa
Little project she finished about Fragment Shaders (programs that run in the graphics card instead of the CPU). All about pixel colors, set by a very fast program. Written in ClojureScript. It’s a web based / terminal environment. She writes code in the terminal, the browser window shows the running graphics and shader source code to the audience.
Repository with the code: https://gitlab.com/lislis/figfrag

Nuño

Secret art-tech event in a mystery location. This will be the 2nd edition. Nuño showed two invite QR codes for people to register.

Rosi

Showing cool stuff you can do in the new version of vvvv (a node based visual programming language and multipurpose toolkit), for example 1. a “character packing” algorithm that fits letters in a rectangle avoiding overlapping, 2. the multilevin example (see Golan Levin), 3. a particle system represented by classes / objects.

Today they had a workshop on computer vision, they used printed paper marker. Shows an example in which he rotates a marker, but the software inverses the transformations so it’s always shown as perpendicular to the camera.

Alma
Shows her audio reactive visuals done in TouchDesigner. She played them in live situations. It was harder than expected, because settings had to be tweaked depending on the music.
