ART AND CODE is a conference and online community focused on programming environments for artists, young people, and the rest of us

“Cue made of a software-hardware combo turns your laptop into a complete VJ system. The Main features are a 15,4″ Touchscreen and a linear moving Knob-fader. Certain areas of the screen represent information in context with the position of the knob-fader. Alterations with the knob-fader are displayed by movement, scaling and rotation of graphics. These elements gain complexity at higher zoom levels and become touch sensitive. The visual jockey is able to mix loops, apply effects in an intuitive way as well as access a vast library.”
