If channels drifting out of phase would be a problem, mixing in soundcards that do not share the firewire clock is out of the question. If they do not need to be in phase (ie. the channels are used for isolation rather than mixed for virtual positioning), then there are a larger number of cheaper options to consider. If they need to be in fixed phase than as far as I know firewire cards with a shared clock is your cheapest option aside from soldering soundcards to one another so they share a single clock. Firewire clock chaining is not limited to OSX, it will work under Linux too, and I would be surprised if it did not work under Windows. jurgen wrote: You have to be realistic - 25 channels is an extremely hardware ineffective configuration because audio interfaces come by increments of 8.

[PD] [PD-announce] PD installation in Sewanee, Tennessee
There is currently a PD installation in our university's gallery in Sewanee Tennessee ( hometown of Miller Puckette) http://art.sewanee.edu/art/2009/10/21/nowcasting-reception-and-talk/ the press release is below. Greg Sewanee’s University Art Gallery presents Nowcasting, an installation created by the collaborative group TEH. It will be on view in the University Gallery from October 9 – November 22, 2009. There will be an artists’ talk and reception on Friday, October 23rd at 4:30 pm in Convocation Hall, immediately adjacent to the University Art Gallery. Visitors to Nowcasting will experience the building of a digitized storm in the confines of the gallery. Like TEH’s other works, this installation is intended to “challenge the senses through the use of simulation, and present weather/environment through mediated, virtual and physical processes.” Entering a gallery space transformed by sound, visitors will question the reality of what their senses tell them about the surrounding environment. TEH includes the artists Phillip Andrew Lewis, Adam Trowbridge and Jessica Westbrook. They named their collaboration TEH after a mistake commonly made when using a keyboard – typing “teh” instead of “the.” This name represents the group’s interest in how an actively participating audience can be a factor in the meaning of an artwork. Individuals have unintended and surprising effects on the messages they create and receive. This name also represents the group’s interest in the difficulties of communication. Messages are often scrambled, or mean different things to different people. Representations intended to simulate reality can never be exactly the same thing. TEH uses modern interactive technologies to create their installations, but is also interested in examining the impact and meaning of those technologies for their users. In a world where we are surrounded by televisions, wii games, computers and cell phones, how is our experience of that world changed? The group’s current focus is on the intersection of technology with weather and specific physical sites. In today’s world, we experience even something as essential as the weather mediated through technology. What are the implications if technology can fool our senses and convincingly simulate real physical experience? Phillip Andrew Lewis often explores the viewer’s navigation of mental and physical environments in his work. He received his Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Memphis, and his MFA from the Memphis College of Art. In 2005 Lewis established Medicine Factory, a contemporary art space in downtown Memphis, and has exhibited nationally and internationally. His professional awards include a 2009 Digital Art Commission from the Austin Peay State University New Media Program, a 2008 Tennessee Arts Commission Individual Artist Fellowship, and a 2008 Public Art Grant from the Urban Art Commission, Memphis. Lewis teaches Photography and Media Arts at the University of Tennessee in Chattanooga. Adam Trowbridge uses a variety of approaches and media, including performance, video and computer-driven installations, to explore the connections, and the gaps, between what we experience and what we understand. Trowbridge received his MFA in Electronic Visualization / Responsive Art from the University of Illinois at Chicago, and his work has been featured nationally and internationally, including at the Anthology Film Archives in New York, and at the Square Eyes Festival in the Netherlands. Jessica Westbrook works with photography, video, language, and information design. In her work she explores subjective and often contradictory responses to anything from cultural artifacts to extreme situations. Westbrook received her MFA from the Tyler School of Art. In 2005 she established the artist’s collective SEED in Chattanooga, and has exhibited nationally and internationally. She has recently been featured in Static, the Journal of the London Consortium, and in Chicago’s artstorage.org. She teaches Photography and Graphic Design at the University of Tennessee in Chattanooga. Sewanee’s University Art Gallery is located on Georgia Avenue on the campus of the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee. The gallery is free, accessible, and open to the public. Hours are 10 – 5 Tuesday through Friday and 12 – 4 on Saturday and Sunday.

Re: [PD] Need help for presenting workshop
When I have been involved with beginning level workshops for both Processing and PD the approach Hans and hard off suggest is definitely the best. Miller taught a workshop here a while ago where he had the students build several small patches, each subsequent patch used some part of the previous as a starting point so students got some sense of continuity and learned a method by which they could continue to work after the class - it gave them a small toolbox to work with later. Golan Levin and Casey Reas each do the something similar to introduce Processing.

Re: [PD] Opening a PD patch on Startup in OSX
I dont know how you have set this to work on your machine but I have set my gallery installs on mac os x 10.4 systems to autostart by doing the following: 1. setting the open at login option for PD from the dock 2. setting the start up path in start up flags box within preferencesstartup menu I havent encountered the problem that you have but I dont shutdown my machines at night. Is there some reason you need to? Here are two simple ways I have used that might work instead ( I dont know what you are running with PD ( gem, etc...) but they could be modified to suit: 1. use a 24 hour clock patch ( really just a resetting counter and is attached) that turns the DSP ( or whatever is appropriate ) on/off or closes and opens the other patch at certain times instead of restarting entire computer 2. use an arduino and a light sensor to turn off the DSP when the lights are shut off at night On 9/23/07, Stuart Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All I have a patch running an installation on a Mac laptop running 10.4.9. The laptop is scheduled to shut down at night and start up in the morning. The PD patch is on the desktop with a folder containing samples it is controlling, and there's nothing else on the desktop except the hard drive. From time to time when it starts the computer goes to the finder after opening the patch; this seems to be completely random and happens about one start up in 5. Does anybody have an explanation? And a way of getting round this problem? It needs to be fail safe as I'm not around during the run of the installation.

Re: [PD] Teaching Pd - student's log their research
Ed, Thanks for directing me to the site for your course. I have been working to develop an integrated program involving the departments of art, music, computer science and physics at the small college where I work. Pd is a core component of this collaboration. It is really helpful to see how you structure your teaching. Greg On 9/16/07, Ed Kelly [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Greg, That's really interesting. I think from a teaching point of view the whole reflective journal approach is a good idea, and a web/wiki approach seems to be the most logical way to do this with a technology-related course. Best, Ed PS you can have a look at the short synthesis course I taught last year at http://sharktracks.co.uk/lcc/fda_2006/ - it was perhaps a bit too fast for the students, and I will be re-capping at the start of the coming term.

Kyle, I agree with your impression of this anarchic democracy. These guys were generous enough to let me sit in with them when I was in in Zurich and I was really impressed.

This could be the making of a total automation engine for Pd! yep there was a working patch with qlist. http://www.netpd.org/NetpdPlayer but be aware it records whole patches and abstractions as well. maybe it could [route #N #X] before recording to get rid of the pd-files. the difficult part would be to build a nice score to after edit the recorded data. ___ PD-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list ___ PD-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

[PD] [not really OT] a contemporary sensibility?
Kevin, These ideas are interesting. I would also look at the chess career of Marcel Duchamp as a possible corollary that predates our technologies. I think it addresses similar ideas: Bounce these quotes by Duchamp off Debord, Deleuze and Guattari- also don't forget Bourriaud: I am still a victim of chess. It has all the beauty of art - and much more. It cannot be commercialized. Chess is much purer than art in its social position. The chess pieces are the block alphabet which shapes thoughts; and these thoughts, although making a visual design on the chess-board, express their beauty abstractly, like a poem... I have come to the personal conclusion that while all artists are not chess players, all chess players are artists. Here is Duchamp's competition record: http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessplayer?pid=36967 good topic- more to discuss... Greg On 4/6/07, Kevin McCoy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I really like that Kevin. Is there any connection between the parts of the triptych other than a purely aesthetic one (which works very well imho)? This is what I am suspecting... I sense that there is some kind of sensibility about interconnectedness, complexity, and maybe even adaptability/openness that is somehow symptomatic of our current predicament. I have been reading Deleuze/Guattari's A Thousand Plateaus recently, and I am sure that many of you are familiar with the idea of the rhizome, and now with books like Hardt and Negri's Multitude there are further discussions on multiplicity, identity, and democracy. I guess I am one to suspect that even aesthetics are informed by some kind of concept or at least an impulse... I am a fan of Mehretu's work and the SI, and I just had this sort of connection go off in my brain last night and now I want to know everyone's thoughts :) Also I think in the Processing communities there is a strong leaning toward this complex interconnected aesthetic as well. What do you guys (and girls?) think it is that makes this a plausible vision of the forces at work in the world? Do you think it is a perspective informed by technology, the amount of information flow in postindustrial societies and its inherent politics? I see this get even more interesting when we think about the glitch... or imagine a psychogeography of a digital network... I liked that idea of listening to the linux kernel!
