Compose your own generative graphics without writing a single line of code and let your computer do what it is good at: randomness and repetition. After you set up your data flow program with the visual programming environment vvvv (gamma), lean back and see how your visuals grow in real time. Export these 2D or 3D interactive generative graphics as movies or animated vector files.

We will be using vvvv (version gamma) for the workshop as it offers an inuitive visual approach to handle algorithms without the need of writing any code.

What the vvvv?

vvvv is a visual programming environment that allows you to realize ideas quickly without the need to write any code. But if you want, you can also write C# code for it and use any .NET library with it! To give you an idea of the areas vvvv can be helpful in, here is a list of buzz words vvvv is often associated with:

Generative Design
Interaction Design
Data Visualization
Computer Vision
Rapid Prototyping
Physical Computing
Projection Mapping
Show Control

What you will learn

– how to work with the new vvvv (version gamma)
– Apply the principles of condition, repetition and randomness
– Generate patterns mimicing nature,…
– Map data from one range to another
– Create 2d graphics and animations
– Export graphics to .svg and .pdf

Requirements:

– Bring a Windows laptop
– Bring a 3 button mouse
– No prior knowledge of vvvv needed
