SUMMARY:"Sofia Forms" follow-up: Creative coding
DESCRIPTION:At the recent "Sofia Forms" conference\, I gave a talk about my
  visual effect (done in C++ &amp\; OpenGL) called Multiscale Desmoothing.\
 n\nI'm now doing a follow-up event at init Lab\, to further explore the ef
 fect with you guys - to discuss its inner workings.\n\nFor those of you wh
 o haven't seen it\, you can check the slides here:\n\nhttps://experiments.
 stefanteaches.eu/multiscale_desmoothing.pptx\n\n... and an old version of 
 the effect here:\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9D50-l_aL5U\n\nSome aspe
 cts that might be interesting to you:\n- how to compute derivatives in a 2
 D array (in a computer) and what does that even mean\n- What these derivat
 ives can be used for\n- Why a "blur\, contrast\, blur\, contrast" loop act
 ually produces the "progressively smoother silhouette" effect you saw (htt
 ps://experiments.stefanteaches.eu/glass-modeling/)\n- How (and why) to est
 imate the curvature (of the isoline) at a given pixel in an image\n- How t
 o send a "Compute a bunch of pixels" task to the videocard (for crazy-fast
  computation) in one line of code (using my tiny compute-on-videocard "fra
 mework")\n\nIt will also be hands-on:\n- You can suggest changes/improveme
 nts and we can try them out together\n- If you know some basic C++\, you c
 an experiment with my tiny compute-framework to pump out some awesome effe
 cts in very few lines of code. I'll help you with that. (Yes it works on L
 inux and Win\; possibly Mac too)\n\nP.S. The effect looks snazzier now and
  it reacts to music too!
