Helo evvvveryone,
after a successful first round of vvvvv gamma workshops, we're now filling up the rest of this year with more dates!
As you know, the all-new vvvv gamma is getting into shape and can already give you an incredible boost in productivity. Therefore in addition to our free introductory workshops, we're also offering the following series of workshops to get you going proper:
Getting started with Physical Computing
Reading data from sensors to control lights and motors connected to a computer via an Arduino, is a breeze if you know how to. The same is true for working with data transfer protocols like OSC, MIDI, MQTT and DMX/ArtNet. Learn all this without the need to write any code, by using the visual programming environment vvvv.
Who is it for?
This workshop is for creative coders, students, media artists and makers who want to learn how to communicate between computers and devices.
You will learn how to:
- Work with the visual programming environment vvvv (gamma)
- Talk to sensors and motors with an Arduino using Firmata
- Send and receive data via OSC
- Use DMX/ArtNet to control lights
- Use MIDI to talk to musical devices
- Dive into IOT using MQTT

Getting started with Computer Vision
With easy access to the computer vision library (OpenCV) and depth cameras (Kinect, RealSense,...), vvvv is a loyal companion for prototyping your computer vision applications and installations. With its no-code user-interface it allows you to quickly achieve your goals with just a few mouseclicks. Applying video filters, detecting motion and even using latest machine-learning powered techniques like YOLO, to label things in a video stream, becomes accessible to everyone.

Time: 10am to 5pm
Hosts: Natan Sinigaglia (dottore)
Tickets for Getting Started with Music Visualization
Visualprogramming for Coders
Programming is fun, but it sometimes becomes tedious when you have to rebuild your whole application just because you found a careless mistake in your code or want to change some constants. vvvv is a visual live programming environment that allows you to build and change .NET applications in real-time while they are running, thanks to incremental compilation and state hot-reload. Oh, and we are serious about this - everything is statically typed.
Who is it for?
You are familiar with words like class, method, interface and generics? You always wanted to change the software you made while it is running? Great, then this workshop is for you!
You will learn how to:
- Translate your knowledge about object oriented programming into the visual paradigms of VL.
- Write VL nodes in C#
- Extend your application with third-party libraries from the internet while it is running
- Convert textual code into visual code
- Use generics
Requirements
- Please come with Visual Studio 2019 installed as this takes a while
Time: 10am to 5pm
Hosts: Tebjan Halm (vvvv developer), Elias Holzer (vvvv developer)
Tickets for Visualprogramming for Coders

Our workshop is titled: Afraid of coding? Try visual programming with vvvv!
In this workshop, we'll be introducing you to the visual programming environment vvvv gamma. If you've always wanted to create interactive games, installations or presentations but the coding it involves just doesn't feel right for you, then give vvvv a chance.
Instead of writing code, vvvv is using a more visual paradigm that doesn't involve lines of abstract text and therefore may be more appealing to you. But make no mistake, this is still serious programming. In the end, you can achieve the same results as with traditional programming.
After introducing you to the very basics of drawing and animating 2d primitives, we'll be talking about your ideas to find out what you're most interested in creating. From there we'll be showing you what you need to achieve your goals!
Help us spread the news about this workshop: If you know someone in the area who could be interested, please let them know. Hope to see some of you there!

Hellow Patchers
Here are some good news:
We got a new space in Davids and Stefans new office in Berlin that gives us finally the chance to plan our program more ahead. The best thing: the space is not only our office space, it is also particulary designed to host workshops and meetups. We will start a workshop and meetup series this summer in a more or less formless way. About the vvvv program you will be informed here and via different social media channels. We do not have an official website for the new space yet (working on it -> you will not miss it for sure), but you can be informed on other meetups groups, FB and the NODE channels.
July 23rd 2019. Meetup time is 20h!
This is the Meetup for vvvv interested open minds based in Berlin or visiting us in Berlin. Its a meeting point for creatives and visual developers, interactive media, digital art, technology and design enthusiast. We are open to anyone who wants to join, no matter if you are a vvvv expert or beginner, a famous or breadless artists, a designhead or technologist, a piano player or techno musician. We are especially open for newcomers and curious beginners and we try to make this meetup as diverse as possible but with a focus on vvvv and VL.
New to vvvv? Get an introduction workshop
Each meetup is preceded by a 2 hour free introduction to vvvv for everybody who is curious about the software and the creative possibilities that come along with it. After some food we go over to the meetup with presentations. See separate blogpost!
Do I need to know vvvv or vl to join this meetup?
No, absolutely not. The presentations will be about projects, patches, plugins, contributions, or simple add ons made with or for vvvv, but you do not need to know it to enjoy the meetup.
What is going on at this meetup?
You come, grab a drink and listen. You grab the next drink and talk. We have one or two announced presentations followed by one or two spontaneous presentations by anyone who brought something to show... We have space and time for spontaneous discussions and presentations! The focus should be in the processes, the decisions and the mistakes that occur during the development of an idea. Submissions are welcome. Please drop us a line.

Open Call | Wisp Laboratory ‘19
We are happy to announce the third edition of Wisp Laboratory, which is going to happen at Kontor80 in Leipzig from 23rd to 29th of September.
We welcome artists from across the globe to apply for this unique workshop.
The aim of the Wisp Laboratory is to experiment with future technologies in relation with artistic expression and to increase meeting points and the interaction between artists.
Together we will experiment with a huge variety of digital tools and reconstruct architecturally the audiovisual phenomenon through installations, concerts & performances with collaborative real-time systems.
From 23rd to 27th of September the participants will create concepts and set-up an exhibition/performance/concert space (e.g. 3d audio system, 360° projection, VR, light, sensors) together with the workshop hosts and have time to prepare their shows for the final presentations. In the evenings/nights of the 28th and 29th of September the results will be presented to an audience.
Workshop Hosts
The lab will be facilitated by the members of Wisp Collective.
Location
The location of the laboratory and performance nights will be in our video and audio labs in Torgauer Straße 80, Leipzig.
Deadline for Applications is the 17th of July!
