Isadora

Isadora is a graphic programming environment that provides interactive control over digital media Isadora is a graphic programming environment that provides interactive control over digital media, with special emphasis on the real-time manipulation of digital video.

Because every performance or installation is unique, Isadora was created not to be a "plug and play" program, but instead offers building blocks that can be linked together in an almost unlimited number of ways, allowing you to follow your artistic impulse.

Because we use Isadora to teach Troika Ranch's Live-I Workshops, it was designed to be easy to learn for those new to the world of real-time interaction. The titles and values of every actor are visible to the user (though they can be hidden if you desire). Help is available for all actors and their inputs and outputs from within the program. Isadora is accompanied by a complete manual that includes numerous tutorials and example files to get you started.

Isadora was designed by composer and media artist Mark Coniglio, and as such, it reflects over 10 years of practical experience with realtime interaction.
