+++INTRODUCTION+++

During this two-day workshop, you will explore the direct relationship 
between sound and image.

Using the Pure Data programming environment, you can directly control 
the vertical and horizontal movements, as well as the brightness, of a 
beam of light. You will then explore Lissajous figures, 3D models, 
Rutt-Etra video scan processing, and other audio-driven visual shapes 
and forms which can be displayed and manipulated in real time on an XY 
oscilloscope, or with oscilloscope emulating software directly on your 
laptop.

VECTOR SYNTHESIS is an audiovisual, computational art project using 
sound synthesis and vector graphics display techniques to investigate 
the direct relationship between sound+image. It draws on the historical 
work of artists such as Mary Ellen Bute, John Whitney, Nam June Paik, 
Ben Laposky, and Steina & Woody Vasulka among many others, as well as on 
ideas of media archaeology and the creative re-use of obsolete 
technologies.

+++PARTICIPATION+++
