People or organizations interested in organizing a workshop can contact us. We maintain a blog with results of recent workshops:Ĭlick a link in the overview below to view related background information: Class We have lectured for students, artists, designers, scientists, professional businesses, and minors. A workshop usually spans a 1-2 week period involving both theory, art & design practice, and hands-on programming sessions.


We sometimes drop development on software that doesn’t work in a classroom – after all, what is the point of tools that are not adopted by the next generation? Currently, workshops focus on learning NodeBox and/or Pattern combined with insights into the principles of generative art, data visualization and cognitive science. Theres also NodeBox, particularly if youre partial to Python. We have had students experimenting with real-time audio/video performance, visualization based on Twitter data, drawings based on text classification and sentiment analysis, for example.ĮMRG has organized workshops internationally since 2004. Seeing the drawing thread take off made me want to get a generative art thread moving. Students willing to dive in further are encouraged to adopt generative tools like NodeBox within their master thesis. Classes usually span one semester and have a specific focus, for example generative art, data visualization or experimental typography. NodeBox is an open source offering, that is currently available in a few flavors, the latest incarnation being NodeBox 3 as a completely cross-platform solution running under Mac OSX, Windows, and Linux.EMRG hosts new media classes at the Sint Lucas Antwerpen School of Arts in the 2nd and 3rd bachelor year. Here, in three parts, the getting started with NodeBox series looks at how to get up and running with NodeBox, how the NodeBox interface works and how ti create new nodes and connect the nodes together Continuing on to show the core idea behind NodeBox with a look behind list processing, the various types that are incorporated in NodeBox, and a small example of type conversion. NodeBox provides a novel way for working with images through the use of independent task nodes that you are able to string together to produce images, similar to Softimage’s ICE, or any other node based workflow would operate. We’ll show automatic type conversion in action and show an example where we do the type conversion ourselves In this video we’ll explain the different types available in NodeBox and how they interact. This repository contains the best materials still around, in compressed backup form. Unlike popular choices such as Processing, NodeBox, openFrameworks, etc., I picked Go for two simple reasons: Gos syntax is easy enough that virtually. The official website is still active and I use this software to introduce students to node programming. Recently, the Experimental Media Research Group have updated some of NodeBox’s tutorials providing a more comprehensive look at getting started with NodeBox for creating Procedural images. Generative Art with Nodebox 3 Nodebox 3 seems an abandoned project and it's a shame 'cause it was a really good tool to get closer to generative art and design. NodeBox has a large set of external libraries such as the SVG library for importing SVG paths, the Bezier editor for drawing right inside of the application, and Core Image for doing Photoshop-like image manipulations like layers with blending modes, color changes and filters using the OS X Core Image library, which is hardware accelerated.

NodeBox has been around for a while, as a free and Cross-platform, node-based Graphical User Interface for creating procedural and generative designs, data visualizations as well as animations.
