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?

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).

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.

About the Workshop:

The languages of visual programming open a new field in the realization of interactive digital devices for the scene, in which they can program the devices and applications that fit their artistic purposes without resorting to programming specialists.

This worshop aims to investigate the ways in which stage art incorporates interactive digital devices developed in visual programming languages and uses them as a starting point for artistic creation.

The aim is to bring professionals from the scene to the new accessible technological tools so that the art director can count on artists trained in this discipline to include in their work the resources that it offers.

Best regards,

RIL
