Description

This workshop explores different modes of feedback with Hydra, a live coding environment inspired by analog modular video synthesis. Participants will learn how to create fractals with feedback and add custom GLSL for even more effects. No previous experience will be necessary. Hydra is free and available to use via the web browser and for download. Participants should bring their own laptop.

Cameron Alexander

Cameron Alexander (aka emptyflash) is an artist, programmer, and
scientist based in New York. His work explores the relationship between math and
nature (especially in fractals, feedback, and non-linear systems), altered and
esoteric states of consciousness, and the essence of reality through generative art,
livecoded performances, and alternative process photography. Cameron received his
B.S. in Computer Science from the University of Houston in 2015. He has been
creating generative art since 2011, and his work has been exhibited, installed, and
performed in galleries, theaters, clubs, and venues across the U.S. Cameron is a
member of the New York-based collective livecode.nyc, where he organizes shows,
gives livecoding workshops, and performs livecoded visuals and music at algoraves.
