Participants need to bring their own notebook

No previous knowledge is required, the workshop will be held in English. (Also flexible with German)
Live coding is the process of modifying and altering codes on the fly; it leads to generating new visuals that can be evolving and transforming in real time. The aim of the workshop is to get to know Hydra - a visual programming, live code-able video synth and coding environment created by Olivia Jack. It is intended that participants can experiment and generate different code functions, distortions of images and cameras in order to create their own visuals. Hydra is also a web-based open source, it can be used for several purposes, such as live performance (even collaborative and collective) or art installations.

Goals
-To give participants a basic understanding of how Hydra works.
-To be able to interact with the code.
-To be able to perform operations to alter images and camera through the code.
Content:
Hydra - Basic functions and syntax: Source, Geometry, Color, Blending Modes, Javascript functions.
