[Texte disponible uniquement en anglais] Workshop in Quartz Composer, from basic to live visual interaction
4 days workshop in Italian and also English

Quartz Composer is a visual programming environment designed for creating interactive video and graphics in a real-time environment that can interact with external inputs. It is particularly useful for experimenting with interactive video art and live performances.

U need: your Mac – with the QC installed. If u have a midi controller bring it. No programming skills required for this workshop. Strongly recommend mouse.
