software etc

hydra a live coding browser based video synthesis system
signal culture apps a variety of video processing applications (osx and windows 10 only)
r_e_c_u_r an open source diy raspberry pi based video sample player and processor
d_e_t_o_u_r an open source diy raspberry pi based framebuffer video delay and processor
vector synthesis library for vector synthesis in Pure Data
vsynth a video synthesis system for max/msp
software oscilloscope
the book of shaders just a fantastic intro to coding fragment shaders and also check their github for a lot of useful shader utilities
video_waaaves a software based video mixer plus framebuffer that also works as a chaotic synthesis system (full disclosure I wrote this program and it is a work in progress)

Robs little Whiteboard school a course in working with analog video signals by Rob Schafer
nonlinear dynamics and chaos
information and entropy
algorthms and more algorithms
principles of computation
digital signal processing
video feedback (yes this is me again, this is very rambling theory and applications)
video feedback more (also me, this is a more concrete series focused more on practical techniques and hardware processes)
