Olivia Jack
Olivia Jack is a programmer and media artist originally from San Francisco, California who currently works in Bogotá, Colombia.[1] She studied Computer Science, Human-Computer Interaction, Electronics, Urban Design, Manufacturing, and Digital Art at Stanford University, where she received a B.S. in Engineering-Product Design, with a minor in Computer Science. Jack is the creator of Hydra, a live coding environment for web based video synthesis[2] as well as PIXELSYNTH a browser-based synthesizer for creating sounds from images and drawings, programmed using javascript and Web Audio.[3]
Career
Olivia Jack was one of the Choreographic Coding Labs residents from August 27–3, 2015 located in New York City.[4] She has participated in several exhibitions including group exhibitions including:
- ARTBO in Bogotá, Colombia (2018)[5]
- Installation at Queer Porto 2 in Porto, Portugal (2016)[6]
- Performance at Interactivos?16: Mundos Posible in Madrid, Spain (2016)[7]
- Anti-Eviction Mapping Project at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, California (2016)[8]
Hydra
Hydra is an open source JavaScript library and online IDE for creating real-time graphics and visuals in the web browser, most popular among artists in the algorave movement.[9][10][11] The core library, Hydra-Synth builds on a number of web APIs including WebRTC and WebGL. It allows artists and developers to write graphic shader programs, traditionally written in GLSL, using JavaScript through a functional programming style API. It includes modules (or functions) for generating and manipulating audio and video signals (via WebGL) as well as modules for capturing and recording webcam feeds. Olivia Jack has cited the modular design of analog video synthesizers from the 1970s, like the Sandin Image Processor, as one of her primary influences for the Hydra-Synth design[12]. The Hydra-Synth is most commonly used within the context of the web based Hydra editor, a live coding environment similar to others used in algoraves. Using WebRTC, the online IDE also has the ability to connect to remote streams coming from other instances of the editor enabling live web based performances between users across the Internet.
