@dbini hei let’s meet in Vienna!

Anyone interested? Sounds like a fun idea!

Best wishes,

Woland

If anyone is around in Eindhoven this weekend, I'm running a studio at Young Arts Night at the Van Abbe on Saturday evening (9 until 1) - some very simple Isadora light painting stuff - come and play and have a chat! 

It's a good idea I think. I'll make sure this makes it into the next brainstorming session.

Best Wishes,
Mark

Great, thanks very much. Putting that in the diary now. We can celebrate my birthday in Berlin!

I'm running some introductory workshops for artists wishing to explore camera tracking basics in Isadora.

(not sure how v3 will affect these, but excited to find out!)

dates are:

LIVERPOOL - Fri 14th June - tickets £15 - Eventbrite
MANCHESTER - Fri 21st June - tickets £15 - Eventbrite

please spread the word if there are any people new to izzy in the NW UK - should be a fun session. More info below.

An introductory workshop for anyone interested in making live video camera systems for interaction (colour / motion tracking).

About this Event

Want to make the moon follow you around on stage? Or mix music using coloured post-it notes? Generate live visuals through movement? Generate data from your webcam?

This is a introductory workshop for anyone interesting in making live video camera systems for interaction (colour / motion tracking) and generative design without having to code.

We'll be using the software ISADORA - popular in theatre, performance and art installation. Isadora has some really simple camera tracking tools, meaning that even with something as basic as a webcam, you can develop pretty sophisticated systems. These can then be easily integrated with Isadora's other tools such as projection mapping, video mixing, triggering sound, etc. 

Overview of the session:

Isadora interface

setting up webcams and other cameras

tracking movement

tracking position

tracking colour

calibration and scaling

creating own installation

Requirements:

You will need:

Laptop (pc / mac)

Install Isadora beforehand (demo version free) - https://troikatronix.com/

lunch

We will provide:

Projectors

usb webcams

I've tried to keep the ticket price down as low as can be to make sure that it's accessible. Thanks to Liverpool Screen School and Liverpool School of Art and Design at LJMU and Arts Council England for helping to make this happen.

This workshop is part of PORTALS - an Arts Council England National Lottery Project Grants funded project - touring my sci-fi interactive projection mapping installation round the NW.

The Digital Department of Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts, together with the Digital Media Art Department of Shanghai Theatre Academy, has launched the Isadora Joint Workshop on Digital Media Creation.

Course  Content

In this course，we will use Isadora as a creative tool to develop digital media art works. Isadora is a digital media interactive control software developed by TROIKATRONIX company in Germany. It combines the video and audio processing engine of a media server with a hyper-flexible visual programming environment to create an incredibly versatile media playback platform. Whether you are an artist, a designer, a technician or a student, you are able to craft unique environments, improvise and produce experimental experiences through the immersive, reactive system Isadora provides. Top artists use Isadora to create compelling live performances and interactive installations. Isadora is also one of the most flexible and easy-to-use programs. Are you ready to explore the digital media art world?

This year's Oulu Dance Hack will be towards the end of November. Dance and media artists spend a week together in studios in Northern Finland to explore the relationships between dance and technology - creating systems built around Isadora and using them to make installations and short performances. This is the fourth year we have organised this event, and this year its part of Oulu Festival of Light, so we get to share our creations with lots of visitors. Please spread the word around your networks - if there's any media artists who want to try working with dancers, or dancers who would like to be introduced to working with tech - this is a great opportunity. Its free to attend, and we offer a small contribution to artists' expenses. see here for more details.

Yeah, I've got a small Kinect project, but I'm still having some scaling issues.  Didn't get as much time to troubleshoot as I'm opening Titus at Cincy Shakes this weekend, too.  I'm treating tonight as Blink's preview performance.

I'm looking forward to checking out the full festival tomorrow....

For my scenario I would like to place plates down onto a table and then the projections would appear on them.

 I finally found the time to do that mock-up

roughness, reflection or transparency

 There is no bump map in Isadora, there is no reflections either. You can texture with alpha channel transparency.

Here is a demo patch I created that forces an alpha transparency onto a movie file. The movie files works for MacOS 10.15.

Kind Regards

Russell
