Elektropastete, onedotzero & Marshmallow Laser Feast
Creative coding and the lively and extensive online communities surrounding it are all about giving people the tools and knowledge to express new concepts and ideas. Often, people find that the available tools are out of their reach either financially, technically or in some other fashion. Creative coding and its community aims to close this gap.
For example, when our Coded Matter(s) #1: Unfolding Space guests Elektropastete were invited by digital art pioneers onedotzero and Marshmallow Laser Feast to create interactive visuals for an innovative stage design for PowerUp; Intel’s UK-project to find emerging DJ’s, no existing VJ tool gave them the creative freedom they required. So they simply decided to code their own. Check out the result in the video on the left!
If you want to learn some tricks of the trade from these guys, there are still a few spots available for their workshop on shaders. Head over the Workshop page for more info!
