Functional Curves and Surfaces: Algebraic Geometry Inspired Visuals in Hydra

on YouTube ↗23m

" summary

Describes FCS, an extension to the live-coding visuals tool Hydra that adds a library of implicit and parametric curve and surface functions inspired by algebraic geometry. Shows how these functions can be chained and composed to synthesize complex visual patterns, and positions the framework as a hands-on resource for learning algebraic geometry in math, art, and CS contexts.
