Creative Code Charlie Foxtrot ( shorthand C3F ) is an experiment in realtime collaborative visualization software development. The intention is for a group of people to simultaneously design, develop, tune and colour a video artwork rendered in real time on multiple screens.
Attempt to create a singular, generative, multiscreen art piece using ad hoc collaboration. The goal for each participant is tasteful improvement to the state and configuration of an abstract rendering machine.
The result will be a record of the state of the piece, represented as git commits, video recordings and logs of property changes. All results will be released as open source.
To preview the controls of C3F, see the document control/index.md.
The initial C3F experiment is happening October 8th, 2019 at the Centre for Digital Media in Vancouver. See the meetup page for more info.
A lot of the code is still pretty fresh, but you can try running C3F using the instructions below.
You may use this source code to run your own copy of C3F. To do so, you should have a working knowledge of node.js and git. Please note that Windows support is borken at this time!
git clone https://github.com/koopero/creative.code.charlie.foxtrot/
cd creative.code.charlie.foxtrot
# Huge package install. May take a few.
npm install
cp loopin.local.example.yaml loopin.local.yaml
# Edit the file loopin.local.yaml to set up optional audio and kinect inputs.
# Start the experiment!
npm start
# Now, you can browse http://localhost:7004/ to control C3F.Special thanks to the following:
