LPM 2015 Rome | WORKSHOP FOCUS:
Processing in Resolume |
28 | 15.00 - 18.00 | Nuovo Cinema Aquila, Rome

This workshop focuses on creating visual art using the Processing programming language in the Resolume environment. Topics covered include building a Processing sketch that can be added to Resolume, controlling Resolume parameters using the Processing sketch, and implementing 3rd party libraries such as physics engines or the Leap Motion controller to work with Resolume.

Although this workshop will be focusing on using Spout to get Processing visuals into Resolume, if you have a Mac don’t worry– Syphon for Mac is a similar alternative, and Processing to Resolume control using OSC is platform independent.

Participants should have a Mac or PC with at least two gigs of ram and 2ghz processor, a licensed and current version of Resolume, and a USB stick for transferring files. To take full advantage of Spout your graphics card will need to support the GL Interop extension.

Familiarity with the Processing programming environment is recommended, but not absolutely necessary.

Topics to be covered:
– Quick intro to Processing
– Integrating Spout with Resolume in Processing: resolution and performance quirks and tricks
– Controlling Resolume from Processing: OSC control
– Extending the Processing environment: physics engines (box2D) and 3rd party libraries (Leap, Kinect)

He has given numerous lectures, workshops, and presentations on topics such as curating electronic art, hacking video game hardware, and software programming for live video exhibitions. He currently is co-director of La-Va.org, a loosely organized communtiy of video artists working primarily in the field of live video mixing and improvised visuals.

From October of 1999 to October 2004 he ran Drivethru Studios, a not-for-profit, independent gallery dedicated to emerging artists working in painting, video, and sculpture. In June 2002 he curated and contributed to an exhibition with the Faites de la Lumiere group in Marseilles, France, and in the fall of 2002 traveled to Bulgaria to curate and show his own work at the "Second by Second" exhibition at the Lessedra Gallery in Sofia, Bulgaria.

In 2004 he closed down the Drivethru Studios and relocated to Los Angeles to pursue a graduate degree at the Otis School for Art and Design. Since then he has shown work at the Los Angeles Juried Exhibition, the Angels Gate Art Center, Track 16 Gallery in Santa Monica, the SuperSonic Exhibition at the Barnsdall Art Park in Los Angeles, Walled Cities Gallery in San Pedro, Andrew Shire Gallery in Los Angeles, and the KunstVlaai Exhibition in Amsterdam.
