[PD] 5Day Pure Data Workshop --- London, June!

2010-06-07 Thread Ryan Jordan

>>>Please forward to anyone you think may be interested...

A10Lab presents a 5 Day Pure Data Workshop lead by Luca Carrubba and Oscar 
Martin.

CRAZY GENERATIVE A/V MACHINES

The
aim of this workshop is to learn simple programming strategies for the
creation of audio/video software tools for live performances.
Generative or interactive pieces of software that let artists create
and control video streams and audio processing in real time.

During
the workshop we will use puredata, a free (as a bird and as a beer)
graphical programming language particularly focused on the processing
of audio and video data in real time. Puredata is a tool for artists
who want to experiment with a different creation pattern, with a
freedom to build from scratch their own instruments. You don’t need to
be a programmer to begin to build your tool. In 5 the days long
workshop you will learn the basics of the language, how to manipulate
or create a video and how to play with audio. At the end of the
workshop all the participants will take part in a performance event
open to the public.

>From Monday 21st June to Friday 25th June 2010. 3 hours a day. 7pm - 10pm.
Saturday 26th June --- Live performance event with invited performers and all 
participants from the workshop!!!

Participation is £100 and limited to 20 people.

[PD] A10Lab - Live Media and FLOSS Workshop - Book Now!

2010-07-08 Thread Ryan Jordan

A10Lab presents:



Live Media and FLOSS* Extended Production Seminary

 

with Marco Donnarumma



Monday 26th - Friday 30th July

17:30-22:30 daily 

 

@ C4CC, 16 Acton Street, London, WC1X 9NG

 

£80 pp

The workshop is limited to 20 participants.

Please register by sending an email to i...@a10lab.com or 
ryan-jor...@hotmail.co.uk

with the subject heading “LiveMedia and FLOSS workshop”.



Full information here http://www.crealab.info/digitalab/?p=393

 

*Free/Libre Open Source Software

In-depth Theoretical and practical audiovisual live performance

seminary using FLOSS.

Pure Data audiovisual real-time processing, tricks and tips to create

your own performance tool.

 

Description

 

The seminary consists of four parts. During the introduction the

participants acquire a basic theoretical knowledge about Live Media.

The introduction is extended through a review of selected audiovisual

works in order to explore and analyse the potential of the audiovisual

research.

 

Therefore participants are introduced to the concept of FLOSS

(Free/Libre Open Source Software), they familiarize with few FLOSS

software as they understand its practical and theoretical keystones.

 

In the second part participants learn the meaning of real-time

audio-video data processing reviewing the most common

production tools. Eventually they deal with the process of an

audiovisual performance pre-production using FLOSS: from

brainstorming and concept design, through planning of the audiovisual

format, to the collection of support materials such as texts,

tutorials, and the drawing of sketches representing the logic

structure of data processing. 

 

The third part focus on Pure Data graphical programming environment.

Participants learn to communicate with Pd and how to surf through the

audio and visual processing libraries. They build basic processing

structures and discover tricks and tips to create their own

performance tool.

 

For the last part the work group is split in smaller groups. Through

practical individual exercises participants acquire the technical

know-how about the creation/collection of moving images and sonic

events within the Pure Data graphical programming environment, thus

they develop an original software, following the standard realisation

steps: beta-testing; analysis of errors and its

correction; and final testing during a collective jam

performance.

 

Aim

 

The seminary seeks to give the participants who don't have

previous experience in programming and Live Media practice the needed

theoretical and practical knowledge and skills to feel comfortable

within the FLOSS creation environment. The classes' aim is to

make the participants able to understand and assimilate the diverse

passages of the creation process of software ad-hoc in order to be

independent during the planning and development of a FLOSS project

(musical, audiovisual, multi-media or theatre pieces) using the

audiovisual language.

 

Who's it for

 

Musicians, producers, live visualists, film-makers, programmers,

sound designers or passionates of digital arts or electronic music

and experimentation who want to enhance and extend their skills and

tools will find this seminary inspirational and fundamental for the

further development of their works and creative ideas, free from the

limitations of user-friendly and proprietary software.

 

No previous programming experience is needed.

 

What to bring

 

Participants are invited to bring their laptops and encouraged to

bring musical instruments, cameras, photo cameras, webcam,

microphones, sensors, MIDI devices and fresh, unusual ideas!
