Workshop: Introduction to creative coding with vvvv

Learn how to create interactive installations from scratch!

0-20 €

In this workshop, participants will get to know the essentials to work with the creative-coding tool kit vvvv – a tool that allows you to design real-time interactive visuals in a faster way.

What is vvvv?

vvvv is a visual live-programming environment with a focus on creative-coding.

Areas of application span across the following:

  • large-scale interactive experiences
  • utility apps that can be deployed to app stores
  • headless IOT apps running on Linux

 

vvvv is visual in a sense that you don’t have to write code (but you still can, if you want to, add in some C#). And with vvvv you’re always live-coding in a sense that every change you make to your program is immediately applied and you don’t have to wait for your program to be compiled and restart. In development since more than 20 years, vvvv is in use by a wide-range of developers worldwide and should not be missed in any creative-coders toolbox.

And last but not least: the vvvv community has also kick-started NODE itself!

What is NODE+CODE?

Since 2014, the meetup invites creatives, designers, artists, coders and anyone else interested to a series of events with changing locations and thematic focuses – all related to working with code in design and the arts. We want to build a community of people interested in the creative and critical application of technology in Frankfurt and Rhein-Main.
