What is openGL?

What is openGL?
OpenGL (Open Graphics Library) is a standard specification defining a cross-language cross-platform API for writing applications that produce 2D and 3D computer graphics. The interface consists of over 250 different function calls which can be used to Linkdraw complex three-dimensional scenes from simple primitives. OpenGL was developed by Silicon Graphics Inc. (SGI) in 1992[1] and is widely used in CAD, virtual reality, scientific visualization, information visualization, and flight simulation. It is also used in video games, where it competes with Direct3D on Microsoft Windows platforms (see Direct3D vs. OpenGL).

Glitch

A glitch is a short-lived fault in a system. The term is particularly common in the computing and electronics industries, and in circuit bending, as well as among players of video games, although it is applied to all types of systems including human organizations and nature. The term derives from the German glitschig, meaning 'slippery.'

Glitch is a term used to describe a genre of experimental electronic music that emerged in the mid to late 1990s. The origins of the glitch aesthetic can be traced back to Luigi Russolo's Futurist manifesto The Art of Noises. In a Computer Music Journal article published in 2000, composer and writer Kim Cascone coined the term post digital to describe various experimentations associated with the glitch aesthetic. Glitch is characterized by a preoccupation with the sonic artifacts that can result from malfunctioning digital technology, such as those produced by bugs, crashes, system errors, hardware noise, CD skipping, and digital distortion.[2] Cascone considers glitch to be a sub-genre of electronica.

MAX Msp Jitter Class Notes with Andrew Benson

Personal Thought - I am interested in creating interactive social events while I DJ. I would like to use audio, motion, and light to trigger responses. I also would like to make abstract vidoes and post them on the web. Also I'd like to learn more about Arduino.

Comment Andrew Benson's work: He showed us some of his work and I describe it as quadramatic, elucidelic, non sensical, seizure proning, and abstract. Concept of Gliche.

Notes:
Compositing - combining 2 video streams together
Idea of mapping - How you map often becomes work, becomes interactive space, personal decision
Jit.alphablend - pixel by pixel xfade
Jit.pack - replace alpha channel
feedback - take number or data and take result and put it back to top
CV - computer vision - difficult to do well, all variables constrain to certain region -
Note - when you build your patch and then take it to a new environment
