Event Details

This workshop is an introduction to openFrameworks, a cross-platform C++ library for creative coding. It will be a chance to experiment with building new systems for interaction that move away from the screen and into physical space. 

To begin with, we will investigate the structure of OF and how IDEs work.  Then, we will explore the basics of coding in OF and working with media, such as sound, movies or live video.  Finally, we will explore OF and the firmata protocol, which allows for an amazingly simple means of communication between hardware and software. 

This workshop is designed for artists, designers and hackers alike -- although we will assume a basic understand of computation (such as variables, functions, control structures) beginners shouldn't be afraid to jump in. 


about the instructor:  

Zach Lieberman is a co-founder of openframeworks and a hacker / artist.  When he's not pulling all nighters in hotel rooms coding on projects, he teaches at Parsons School of Design.

All NYC Resistor classes are for people 18-years and up.  Sorry, minors.
