Introducing Hydra, live coding for visuals with Shelly Knotts

Shelly is hosting a workshop on live-coding visuals using Hydra - https://hydra-editor-v1.glitch.me/ - 

Hydra is a platform for live coding visuals in Javascript, in which each connected browser window can be used as a node of a modular and distributed video synthesizer.

Inspired by analog modular synthesizers, these tools are an exploration into using streaming over the web for routing video sources and outputs in realtime.

Multiple visual sources (oscillators, cameras, application windows, other connected windows) can be transformed, modulated, and composited via combining sequences of functions.

Bring a laptop and some headphones if you have them.
