PACKET FORTH Workshop with Aymeric Mansoux, Tom Schouten and Marloes de Valk

This 3 day workshop is an introduction to generative visuals using the open source programming language Packet Forth. The workshop is aimed at artists and programmers interested in generative art, animation, audiovisual performances, and installations. No previous knowledge of programming is required, but a good general knowledge of computers is necessary. The entire workshop will be taught using the pure:dyne GNU/Linux distribution. If you're not familiar with GNU/Linux, this is a great opportunity to get started!

During the workshop we'll take you through some of the main features of Packet Forth. It's impossible to learn how to program in 3 days, so this workshop is just to get you started and get you through the first steps. We'll show you what is possible, and how to go about creating your own applications, starting at the very basis. We'll cover both drawing and animating, 2D and 3D, and how to link PF to other applications such as Pure Data using Open Sound Control.

It's a hands-on workshop which provides each participant with a workstation and 3 days packed with food for thought.

You'll go home with a pure:dyne livecd, containing all the software used in the workshop (and much much more). Go Forth! is based on 100% FLOSS (Free/Libre Open Source Software).
