How to be a Web A/V Artist
summary
Build is concrete: browser code captures audio via Web Audio, analyzes frequency arrays, and maps values into DOM, SVG and canvas; MIDI controllers arrive over Web MIDI to cross‑fade and trigger effects. Performance hits appear — custom CSS properties for widths are slow at scale and 1,500 concurrent connections collapsed a demo — so visuals move to D3 and math stays in JS. A wearable Portable Audio Visual Pack projects live onto streets and proves the setup actually works.
