Huseyin Kuru, creative director of Motus.Lumina, is teaching an online workshop via one-on-one Zoom meetings. With 10 hours of instruction, the workshop gives each participant an in-depth look at audiovisual programming, starting from the basics. The workshop introduces participants to node-based visual programming with Vuo and explains how to create audiovisual compositions using Vuo, VDMX, and Ableton Live.
The workshop fee is $149 USD. Software used in the workshop is available at no cost — Vuo Community Edition is free for personal use and small organizations, and VDMX and Ableton Live have free demo versions.
Workshop participants have access to a Discord channel where Huseyin answers more in-depth questions than can be covered in the workshop.
To register for the workshop, contact Motus.Lumina by email or Instagram.
Motus Lumina is an interactive-design collective based in Istanbul. We work on indoor/outdoor stage design, VJing, animation, video mapping, av projects, and music. Our objective is to create interactive visual projects integrated with sound, data, and any type of digital control device.
If you’re planning to work with Vuo, take this class!
Huseyin knows what he’s doing and how to explain it clearly to any level of student.
This class helped to get over those first hard steps into new software. Take the leap!
Huseyin was very helpful in any way and always well prepared and on schedule. He gave me a very easy to follow introduction to the vuo way of programming and shared all of his examples and compositions with me. If you want to start learning to create visuals and apps with Vuo I can happily recommend to do this workshop.
I truly cannot recommend this workshop enough.
I came in with zero programming experience, and was more than a little terrified of the complexities of node-based graphics. Huseyin was patient clear, and incredibly generous with his time and attention, and by the end of the class I was excited, inspired, and full of ideas for what to do next. I still can’t believe there was 15 hours of personalized one-on-one instruction for this incredibly reasonable price.
For any VJ who’s at all interested in creating their own material, this is an absolutely essential investment in yourself.
This workshop gives a great introduction to VUO programming and how to implement it with software as VDMX and Ableton Live. Huseyin combines the technical aspects with various examples from his own artistic practise which gives you a concrete and very inspiring insight into the possibilities of VUO. The workshop is extremely efficient and well thought through and contains both theory and hands on programming. I highly recommend it, it will expand your way of working.
Taking this workshop was one of the best things to do creatively in a long time.
Huseyin is inspiring and full of passion in giving you the essentials of working and combining these tools, and then some.
Thank you, highly recommended!
Sadly I could not take part, maybe there is a link to the recording? I started to understand vuo and there are questions that are not easy for me to understand.
@mikeiv, you asked at just the right time :) This is a one-on-one instruction rather than a presentation, so there’s no recording — but right now people living outside the United States can apply to participate for free. There are a limited number of spaces available. Details + apply.
I had a great time with the instructor Huseyin Kuru. He obviously has put a lot of thought designing the course.
He offers five two and a half hour sessions via Zoom. Every session you go deeper into Vuo and find out how it can
interacts with different softwares. Even if you are new to Vuo and other softwares Huseyin makes it easy to
comprehend new concepts by answering every question you could possibly have. He gets hands-on to be thoroughly.
Overall it was very groundbreaking for me to see behind the scenes of some of my favourite visual concepts.
I want to thank Vuo and the instructor Huseyin Kuru for the opportunity for me to be a part of this community and can’t
wait to submit my own projects!
thanks a lot for the workshop!!!
Really I think about all ways to make o build something in Vuo, the quality “human“ of the teacher, simple, direct and with examples can deduced how to continue with process of programming on Vuo. For anything like interfaces, video, vjing, art and technology.
It came at the right time!
It has been a pleasure to have Huseyin as a teacher and I am very grateful for his sharing, his availability, his passion, closeness and good humor.
These classes have allowed me to get started both in the programs and in the combination of VUO, VDMX and LIVE and to continue to deepen my visual work; it has been a combination of essential technical knowledge and applications, taught by an artist who continues to develop his art and evolve his own tools, so his transmission is very rich.
Workshop was very informative and helpfull. Huseyin is very flexible and genourus. i only seen node based programming before but never got an oppertunity to learn. I can produce better works with this knowledge and it opened me many ways to think verious ways of making audio visual programming. Highly recomended.
El taller ha sido genial… He aprendido mucho acerca de VUO y sus posibilidades. Valoro especialmente el enfoque artístico de Huseyin y la forma en la que explica sus procesos creativos, técnicos y artísticos.
1000% Recomendado.
Muchas gracias
The workshop has been great… I have learned a lot about VUO and its possibilities. I especially value Hussein’s artistic approach and the way he explains his creative, technical and artistic processes.
1000% Recommended.
Thanks a lot
Amazing workshop! Huseyin is a mastermind and he has a big heart open to share knowledge and his art. I totally recommend this course for everyone at every level. Thanks
What I liked about this workshop, is that it shows using Vuo in various scenarios and gives you inspiration to make your own stuff . Having experience in visual programming I understand that it takes much more than 10 hours to get a grasp of such software as Vuo. This workshop provides good starting point, and analyzing supplied examples will give plenty of knowledge by itself. I was also inspired by creative ideas lying behind some of the shown examples; I think it’s good there’s a balance between technical and creative stuff being shown and told. I want to thank my instructor Huseyin for inspiring and teaching me and I want to thank team Vuo for allowing me to participate!
Thank to this workshop, I returned to visual programming. I started with QuartzComposer around 2008, and since its bitter end, I have been searching for a new language. I knew VUO was the best option for my profile, but I did not really succeed to learn it - until this Workshop. Besides of sharing transparently so much knowledge for such an amplitude of use cases and contexts, and showing/opening so much doors, I really love that Huseyin keeps open the communication in the community through Discord and direct contact. I certainly recommend it, already on the second day after the session I was creating again own patches.
Thank you, Huseyin, for your open way, thank you, VUO team, to offer funding. Due to booth, I am finally back creating.
I am very grateful to Huseyin for his generosity in sharing his knowledge in this workshop. No doubt intending to develop future projects with Vuo since I am an orphan of Quartz Composer, very happy to be able to resume my studies with visual programming and interactivity. Thanks also to the developers of Vuo.
This workshop opened my eyes for what’s possible in the world of realtime visuals.
After 20 Years of working with pre-produced visuals it’s time for something new - very good introduced, thank you Huseyin!
And thank you Mr. Demirel for connecting us!
