Animatron is an experimental environment (very much “work in progress”) that enables creation of “visual poetry” in the form of animations and images, created in real-time through live coding. It’s implemented using the open-source Godot engine, and communicates with any “client” application or live coding language — such as SuperCollider — via the network, using the Open Sound Control (OSC) protocol and MIDI. In the workshop the participants will learn: • how to install the software • how to setup the system for playing both solo and collaboratively • the basics of creating and controlling frame-by-frame animations via OSC • how to create new image sequences • how to define custom OSC message definitions • how to set custom MIDI mappings to control the animations No prior experience or software installation is required, although proficiency in any live coding language that supports OSC is welcome.
