Live Coding Workshop: A-Frame with Flor de Fuego
Dive into the intersection of programming and artistic expression with digital craft artist Flor de Fuego! In this engaging workshop, we will explore the use of A-Frame to create virtual spaces for expanded (live) performances.
A-Frame is a web framework for building virtual reality (VR) experiences based on HTML, making it accessible to get started with. However, A-Frame is not just a 3D scene graph or a markup language; its core is a powerful entity-component framework that provides a declarative, extensible, and composable structure to three.js.
The goal of this workshop is to create virtual environments that can be pre-programmed and to be controlled through MIDI interfaces or live coding programs such as ORCA, Mercury, Strudel or Supercollider, etc.
Workshop Content
- Building 3D web pages with A-frame
- Learning the A-frame basics: basic geometry, lights, animations, load videos/images as texture, load models, environments
- Working with MIDI controller - mouse click events
- Using Hydra inside of A-frame as a texture
Workshop Requirements
No prior coding experience is required—Javascript and basic knowledge in HTML are helpful.
Laptop with GPU and a mouse recommended, plus MIDI controllers if you have any!
