This 2.5 day workshop is an introduction to openFrameworks, a cross-platform C++ library for creative coding. It will be a chance
to experiment with building new systems for interaction that move away
from the screen and into physical space. This workshop is designed
for artists, designers and hackers alike.
The workshop will be lead by Zach Lieberman, one of the co-creators of
openframeworks.
Schedule
19.6.2009 (Fri) 19:00 - 20:30
Zachary will give a talk about the history of openframeworks and performance of the Manual Input Sessions. Admission FREE!!
20.6.2009 (Sat) 10:00 - 18:00
The workshop will offer a thorough
introduction to the library, as well as cover the fundamentals of
computer vision, signal processing and interfacing with physical
devices, via arduino / firmata. In addition, ofxIphone, which allows
iphone development in OF will be discussed.
21.6.2009 (Sun) 10:00 - 18:00

Zachary Lieberman's work uses technology in a playful and enigmatic
way to explore the nature of communication and the delicate boundary
between the visible and the invisible. He creates performances,
installations, and on-line
works that investigate gestural input, augmentation of the body, and
kinetic response.
