[spectre] Creating Interactive Art and Music with Pure Data | 8 - 12 August 2011

[Max]

The Bauhaus Summer School is offering the following Workshop:

Creating Interactive Art and Music with Pure Data

Pure Data is an easy to learn data-flow programming language for musicians and artists, especially for interactive multimedia projects. It allows the creation of musical compositions, sound design, instruments, interactive installations, real-time video processing and more.
Its design is inspired by the way early telecommunication switchboards and modules of analogue synthesizers were interconnected by patch cords. Pure Data is free open source software. It runs on Linux, OS X, Windows and even mobile devices.

The workshop will give you the opportunity to choose your curriculum individually from a number of parallel sessions of the best Pure Data instructors and well known community members on a wide range of topics and levels. The evenings will feature concerts and performances and will be free for the workshop participants.
