Intro to Picodevil

Picodevil is a browser-based tool for livecoding visuals. v invented it! It allows you to take video clips, chop them up, apply effects to them and tile them. You do this by writing (simple) code, viewing the results, then editing it a bit. It is fun to make visuals in this improvised way.
In this workshop, v will teach you how to use Picodevil. Not the whole thing, but enough to have fun with it and for you to continue exploring it.

Workshop requirements: Laptop with a browser
