An initiative conceived by Optikal Ink Lab and supported by GarageCube & Madmapper. This foundational workshop marks the inaugural module of the OPTIKAL INK ACADEMY curriculum, specifically designed for beginners with no prior experience in live visual performance, real-time media, or VJ culture. Delivered across three core sessions totaling 9 hours, the course contextualizes the history, evolution, and contemporary industry of VJing, non-linear storytelling, and expanded cinema, while providing intensive, hands-on masterclasses on Modul8 for real-time video composition, dynamic mixing, and live performance workflows.
