Notes

Abstract

Did you ever ask yourself how the artists Paul Signac or Andy Warhol would see you? Are you curious about the secret behind your dog’s eyes? Do mirrors always tell the truth or can we tweak them to show us what we want to see? We will use the Snap! visual programming language to create video effects for our webcam. In doing so we’ll learn about the digital ingredients of live movies and images and how to compute them in real time. Please bring a laptop or tablet with a web browser and a webcam.
