About this event

1 hour 30 minutes

Overview
Colors provide a wide exploration space in live coded visual performances, but they can be challenging to program to do what you want. Knowing a little background can go a long way. We’ll go from wavelengths, to perception, to how computers represent color, some ways to generate your own palettes and color ramps, and finally some tips on how to use colors during visual performances.

This presentation won’t focus on a specific tool, but should be somewhat transferable. It will draw from things I’ve learned while working with shaders, other creative coding, and digital media.

For some parts of the presentation, it would be useful to have polarized sunglasses and a smartphone or laptop.

Processes. Loops. Glitch. Noise. Feedback. Nostalgia. Sustainability. World building. An ecosystem of ecosystems. This year’s show, My ______ is an Ecosystem (said “my blank is an ecosystem”) features a selection of art, workshops, discussions, and performances that explore the former ideas in many ways.

From interactive installations to video art, and audiovisual performances to sculpture, this exhibition features artists using live coding, artificial intelligence, custom electronics and software, repurposed electronics and e-waste, permacomputing, and more.

The title of the show refers to the relationships these featured artists build with their imaginations and tools. An alternative name for this show could be “This is an ecosystem,” referring to this collection of work, the event, and the community of artists involved.
