Genuary 2024

Creative Coding Marathon

In late 2023 I began to dive deep into the realtime software VVVV and the extension FUSE.

When I read the announcement for Genuary 2024 it was clear to me, that this was the perfect training-opportunity.
For each day of January, there was a "prompt" from which one had to come up with an idea for a generative piece.

VVVV is a visual, node-based programming environment based on C# and HLSL for graphics, animation, sound and all kinds of other things and I let myself be drawn in many different directions to maximise my learning experience.
It was exhausting but awesome! :-)

Here are some of the highlights, each done in one day:

Genuary 8: "Chaotic System" (77MB):

Genuary 15: "Use a physics library" (45MB):

Genuary 16: "Draw 10 000 of something" (76MB):

Genuary 17: "Inspired by Islamic art" (60MB):

Genuary 18: "Bauhaus" (83MB):

Genuary 19: "Flocking" (73MB):

Genuary 21: "Use a library that you haven’t used before" (100MB) - I chose "Media Pipe" for interactive particle drawing via a webcam:

Genuary 26: "Grow a seed" (99MB):

Genuary 32: "Game Over" (40MB) Our own little joke... ;-):

The complete playlist for all 32 days is available on YouTube.
