nip uk, day 2: morning time
So after the mighty fine start to yesterday’s artist presentations, we set out on our first day with Zach and his world of computer vision. Kicking off the session Zach began with a general introduction to Openframeworks (OF). OF is a programming language that Zach has co-developed with Theodore Watson and the Openframework community. As a language it focuses on providing the means to developing bottom up, computer vision effects, which can be used to create interactive real-time audio-visual works.
At a basic level, OF is a C++ (C++ is one of the most common software programming languages) library, which wraps together several other libraries openGL for graphics; rtAudio for audio input and output; freeType for fonts; freeImage for image input and output; quicktime for video playing and sequence grabbing) under one roof. It’s miminal design (few classes and functions) allows for easy cross platform use and complier compatibility.
As OF is built using C++ it can provide a high degree of creative, programming freedom and control. Within other programming packages, such as Processing and MaxMSP you can also achieve some similar video and audio interactive results and outcomes to OF. However the downside is that you have to operate within the structures and bundled functionality that these packages provide for you. OF simply allows more freedom and control (ie you can write/code what you want) at a basic level.
Built in the tradition of open source and DIY approaches to creating software OF follows in the path of Processing and the work of John Maeda and the members of the Aesthetics and Computation Group at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Media Lab, whose work has been leading in the field of interactive design.
Once we’d all installed the software (half the group with PC-ing it; half we’re Macin’), Zach lead us through the reasons for developing OF, namely he had hit the ‘wall’ with other languages, which he found did not allow him to access to at the core building blocks, which he needed to build his ideas. Learning C++, provided the access from which he could write the necessary computer functions and commands. So OF was borne out of the need to get to the heart of the materials, to be able at a basic level to grab image and sound data and from this create complex manipulations and to create a language, which allows to be able to do this as well.
A quick whirl tour through the different OF libraries, showed how they wrapped different programs and provided the ability to:
During the morning session, we also had a quick look through some projects (other than those created by Zach, such as Drawn), which have used Openframeworks namely:
