Since 1995, Joshua Davis, an American designer, technologist, author and artist in new media, has made a career as an image maker using programming, he writes his own code, to produce interactions with users and to generate visual compositions according to rule-based, randomised processes.
Davis had a role in designing the visualisation of IBM’s Watson, the intelligent computer programme capable of answering questions, for the quiz show Jeopardy
His work has been inducted into the Smithsonian’s Cooper Hewitt Design Museum, National Design Triennial 2006 “Design Life Now”, and has work in the permanent collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art.
Since 2000, he has lectured globally about his work, inspirations and motivations at museums, galleries, institutions, art festivals, etc… and has spoken at the TED (2005) and 99U (2013) conferences about his career in algorithmic image making and open source.
Dive into the possibilities of the computer’s extraordinary feats in our digital age. This course is ideal for students looking to expand their control animations and processing skills, and those wanting to use a camera as the input source. We will work with Sublime Text 3 to edit code and HYPE Framework. Throughout the week, we explore efficient production techniques with a final project of a real-time, camera-driven animation.

PAINTING WITH SOUND
Computer Vision (OpenCV) + Processing: using the camera as input.
We will work with OpenCV for Processing to bring a physical camera input of interaction in order to allow for control of objects on screen using processing. The instructor presents multiple methods to speed up production, and students participate in hands-on exercises and receive extensive one-on-one help. Our final project is a real-time, camera-driven animation.
