Hello
World is the first
sentence that every programmer experiences as a
token of success. It's
also the name of a series of documentaries about three open
programming languages and their communities.
Synopsis
Artists
who write code, who are able to transform the subtle movements of a
bridge into remote sounds, or the shadows from a projector into
interactive figures. Designers who aim to express a measure of the
mediatic echo of news through aesthetic visualizations. An
infinite set of new possibilities is open to creators when
programming is part of their tools.
Programming
can be understood as an endless set of instructions on a screen or as
a language that makes things work. But, in the last decade, a
revolution has happened in the visual and sonorous world that has
influenced experts and beginners alike, and has spread over all the
creative disciplines. New creative languages have emerged
allowing users to easily learn to programme and create digital works
on their own.
And this
revolution has begun with two words: Hello World. The first two words
that every programmer writes on the screen.
HELLO
WORLD is also the title of
these series of documentaries about three open programming
languages that contribute to this revolution:
Processing:
the programming tool that has made code culture and creation based
on computational systems available to artists, designers and
everyone around the world. Also, it has made easier the process of
sketching and creation of interactive and generative works.
-
Open
Frameworks: a series of programming libraries that have
simplified complex procedures of interactive computation,
such as real time processing of videos, thus opening an
extraordinary universe of new possibilites for interaction design.
-
Pure
data: based on an intuitive system of boxes and connectors that
facilitate the synthesis of computational sound and its
relationship with the moving image, allowing new worlds of
realtime transformation of events into sound and video.
Creators
and users interviewed talk throughout these
documentaries about the history of this creative revolution while
some of their thrilling works are exposed and explained to the
spectators.
Goals
-
The
communities of creators and professionnals who, collectivelly,
have built these open languages, narrowing the gap among
concepts like interactivity, generativity, experimentation and
real time processing, thus allowing their wide use and access.
Authors
