Resources

A collection of libraries, code examples and papers that can serve to build CI-art pieces.

Libraries

• Network-synchronised metronome a library to synchronize several device with respect to a common pulse, over wifi. Can be useful to syncrhonize the CI event and the media displays.
• Pure Data and openGL. A set of Pure Data (Pd) externals written with openFrameworks API, that bring OpenGL graphics and utilities to Pd.

CodePen

CodePen is a social development environment for front-end designers and developers. It includes various visual effects that can be remixed for the hackathon. Here a few curated examples

• Rain. This pen served as a starting point for the CI rain.
• Infinite tree of life

#Hardware bridges

Here is the code for the APIs to control actual hardware fixtures: lights and the organ.
