Workshop to create video camera integrated codes. The workshop proposes to work on questions about identity in the contemporaneous re-posts, globalization, copy-paste and post-human.
Starting from the figure of the face and the creation of masks, we invite participants to develop codes with a video camera, working the visualization and “visualization” of their own identities and merging them with that of their colleagues.
Workshop complementary to the presentation of the work Monomito .

Closing
Applying masks to sketches can be done quite simply: only a png with a transparent cutout is displayed as the last element to be drawn in draw (). This technique is useful for mapping certain objects to a projection in the case of using Processing for a multimedia installation projecting on objects. Here is an example of how to use a mask in a sketch that loads the video from an available webcam on your computer:
