Project XO is a project by New Movement Collective from London. In collaboration with Fenyce they developed an exoskeleton for experimental use in a dance piece. Luca (Fenyce) developed the control software in vvvv and Simon Haenggi (Visualpilots) is joining them to work on the production of the dance piece for the final show in April 2020.

This Friday 1st Nov you can see the system in action for the first time at a public preview session at Tate Britain, London.
It's a free event and the show will be on regularly from 6pm - 9.30pm

Join us if you are around!!

привет Moscow!

We're happy to announce a series of vvvv happenings in Moscow on November 8 and 9 in collaboration withhttp://migz.ru. Together with elias I'll be in town and here is what we have planned:

November 8th

Free Introductory vvvv gamma workshop

vvvv gamma is the all-new version of vvvv. Whether you've been using vvvv beta so far and see its limitations, you want to take first steps in VL (applicable to beta and gamma) or you've always wanted to try vvvv for the first time: This workshop is for you!

In this 2h course we'll give you a taste of what it is like to work with vvvv gamma. We'll guide you step-by-step through creating your first little programs and show you how to export them as standalone executables.

When: 6pm to 8pm
Where: to be announced
Signup

Meetup

Are you a vvvv professional or only curious about what people do with vvvv? Join us for the very first vvvv meetup in Moscow with presentations and drinks. Come to meet fellow patchers and exchange about all things vvvv. Have a problem you want to show and discuss or want to share what you're working on? Please do so. Evvvveryone is welcome!

When: 8pm till late
Where: to be announced

Topics:

• Using OpenCV for tracking faces and doing other computervision related tasks
• Easily creating simple user interfaces with the Elementa UI library
• 2d drawing and exporting to svg/pdf for further use in InkScape or Illustrator
• Using Skeleton tracking with Kinect2 to interact with virtual HitBoxes
• Understanding the power of being able to create Custom Datatypes (think: Particle Systems)

When: 11am to 6pm
Where: to be announced
Cost: 5.000 RUB
Signup

We're very much looking forward to connect with the Moscow crovvvvd. Hope to see you at one of the events!

EVERYWHEN
Everywhen is dark, depressive and captivating contemplation on the recurrence in history. Everywhen orbits around two sides of life - the personal and the political. An often caring, gentle and well-meaning personal life is contrasted here with the reality of the social individual, who can often be sinister, vengeful and hateful. But how can we be critical to our own world views when they are created by those closest to us?

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.

Who is it for?
This workshop is for creative coders, professionals, students, designers and scientists, who want to learn a new way to analyze and sense realtime video images and get to know computer vision techniques.

You will learn how to:

• Work with the visual programming environment vvvv (gamma)
• Use the powerful computervision library OpenCV in vvvv
• Apply filters to video or still images
• Detect motion in images
• Do background subtraction for tracking
• Detect things in images with YOLO
• Batch-process still images

Getting started with Interaction Design

Learn how to track human motion using devices like the Kinect, RealSense or Leap Motion and use the acquired data as input for your interactive installations. Build quick user interfaces to easily tweak parameters and use protocols like OSC, MIDI, DMX to control external devices. All this using the visual programming environment vvvv, which does not require you to write any code. A few mouse clicks are enough to get your interactive prototypes running.

Who is it for?
This workshop is for interacton and interactive media designers who need to prototype and develop human machine interactions for your interactive installations.

You will learn how to:

• Work with the visual programming environment vvvv (gamma)
• Do 2d gesture recognition
• Track full bodies using Kinect2 to create interaction
• Trigger MIDI notes by hitting virtual boxes in space
• Create simple UserInterfaces

Getting started with Data Visualization

Interested in data visualization but afraid of the coding it usually requires? This workshop is for you! vvvv is a visual programming tool that allows you to do what programmers can do with code. You'll learn how to read data from files or online sources and visualize it with 2d drawing techniques. We'll also show you how to export your creations to vector graphics for further processing them in vector tools like Inkscape or Illustrator.

Who is it for?
This workshop is for creative coders, students, data scientists and graphic designers, who want to learn a new way to work with data in their process of making 2d graphics.

You will learn how to:

• Work with the visual programming environment vvvv (gamma)
• Read data from .csv, .xml, and .json files
• Read data from the web
• Create 2d graphics from data
• Export graphics to .svg and .pdf

Getting started with Music Visualization

Exploring the infinite possibilities of giving shape to sound is a life journey. Thanks to the visual programming language vvvv this exploration can be immediately smooth and playful, allowing you to follow the ephemeral moment of intuition arising from music and taking a creative path through generative real-time graphics.

Who is it for?
This workshop is for artists, musicians, creative coders, professionals, students, designers, who want to get into music visualization by generating and interacting with realtime 2d graphics in vvvv.

You will learn how to:

• Work with the visual programming environment vvvv (gamma)
• Get Audio signals in vvvv
• Process live audio inputs, extracting meaningful data from it
• Visualize MIDI files and live MIDI events
• Create procedural graphic elements and connect them to the music
• Use the VL.Animation.Particles library to explore visually some aspects of the sound
• Use the Elementa UI library to build a simple user interfaces to manage some aspects of the visuals in a performance enviroment

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
