Dataflow programming and processing for artists and beyond

We complement the last three editions of the course at SIGGRAPH Asia (2015, 2016, 2018) and SIGGRAPH (2017) to make it more of a hands-on nature and include OpenISS. We explore a rapid prototyping of interactive graphical applications for stage and beyond using Jitter/Max and Processing with OpenGL, shaders, and featuring connectivity with various devices. Such rapid prototyping environment is ideal for entertainment computing, as well as for artists and live performances using real-time interactive graphics. We share the expertise we developed in connecting the real-time graphics with on-stage performance with the Illimitable Space System (ISS) v2 and its OpenISS core framework for creative near-realtime broadcasting, and the use of AI and HCI techniques in art.
