Presentations part 1

Abe

Producing tool for a painter/performer who performs on façades of buildings, performer is colorblind. Abe created a tablet based tool to sonify his paintings.

Using SuperCollider, first on iPad, then on a Windows Tablet.

To read the accelerometer first he tried Godot, but he couldn’t figure out how to sign the application, so he built an app in C# instead.

The core app is writter in C++ with openFrameworks and it samples 12 points on camera. The hues control the pitch, the brightness controls volumes. And tablet tilt controls overall volume. He wanted to use OSC, but couldn’t make it work with C# so switched to UDP messages. He changed tech stacks 4/5 times already.

Uses hysteresis to sample colors into buckets for synthesis.

Bruce

Visual artist/SW developer, plays bass in several bands (http://batchass.fr))

He met Hexler(TouchOSC creator) in Live Performers Meeting who showed an early version of Kodelife realtime glsl code editor(livecoding shaders on the GPU).

It was the inspiration for Bruce to create his own shader mixing software, which does audio reactive visuals with Cinder, added tools for interacting with the shaders (OSC, FFT analysis, image mixing, MIDI, websockets, Spout)

Open source (currently Bruce is the only user because it’s C++ :-p )

Slit-scan experiments, photos as a texture, analogue feeling

Used for panoramic photography, aesthetic purposes

Poetic interpretation of the experiments, cycles of life

Collaboration with performer friend

Using a tool called cables.gl

Pixelation effect in experiments with faster rates

Digital as simplification compared to analog world

Radial slit-scan experiments

Edge detection slit-scan experiments, combined with noise \& scaling

Javascript/Canvas2D experiments, Voxel landscapes, inspired by voxel tech from games like Comanche (early/mid 90s)

Combining voxel terrains with shadowing, precalculated shadows

Diamond-squares noise for generation

Tom: Chaos Communication Camp. Trying to organize a creative coding village. If you are coming to camp, please drop by. Some ppl say it’s life changing.
Taru: works at Leap Motion (hand tracking tech) in developer experience. New version of leap motion came out. Curious to hear feedback. @taruel on Discord.
