Within the course, reference is made, with audio-visual examples, to the evolution of Expanded/extended Cinema, Music Visualization (real time video), Live Audio-Visual performance (A/V performance) and Live Visuals in real time ( live visuals, VJing, generative art, audio reactive visuals, electronica, club culture).
Ways of producing relevant artistic works as well as applications are analyzed. At the same time, production tools for such works are examined, such as related software (touch designer, vvvv, smode, open source, etc.), depth cameras and motion sensors, VR, midi controllers, synthesizers, DAW software, audio devices, etc. Ways of presenting an artistic work are examined (installations, projections, projection mapping, performances, VJing, etc.).
The aim of the course is to understand and create artistic works and applications based on the interaction of sound and image in real time.
