pdlua-0.4 released
by Claude Heiland-Allen 26 Mar '08

26 Mar '08

Hi all, I'm proud to announce a new release of pdlua! Pd (aka Pure-data) [1] is a real-time visual programming environment primarily used for multimedia processing. Lua [2] is a powerful, fast, light-weight, embeddable scripting language. pdlua [3] is a Lua embedding for Pd. This is primarily a bug fix release, but also has some incompatible API changes (which should hopefully resolve some Pd vs Lua name clash issues in the long term). pdlua-0.4 (2008-03-26), changes since pdlua-0.3 (2007-12-02): * API change: "load $1"--[lua] users must add the file name extension * Bug fix: "load $1"--[lua] works as advertised * API change: users must name files "*.pd_lua" instead of "*.lua" * API change: users must name files "*.pd_luax" instead of "*.luax" * Bug fix: help patches should be found correctly * Examples++: [lurn], [luametro], [lpipe] * Internal: Doxygenated source comments * Internal: fewer leading underscores * Internal: renamed all examples for API change and tested them Thanks to Frank Barknecht for the additional examples.

Under the theme "Temporary Tactics", Simultan04 explores a conflict situation, a difficult cohabitation between the independent audio-visual works and the cultural, social and political context in which they are born. "Temporary Tactics" wishes to highlight time and space connected "speculative" situations, the practice of acting and reacting, of making and creating, in the moment and in response to the stimulus of one's immediate environment. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SIMULTAN04 is open for submissions of innovative works which that make use of technology in a creative, ingenious way or are based on a peculiar, unusual story. The video section is open to all video artists and not only, who can apply with narratives, experimental videos, animations, vj-ing movies and motion graphics. Those interested may apply with a maximum number of 2 video works, each having a duration that must not exceed 3 minutes. Terms and conditions, technical details, application form here: http://www.simultan.org/en/2008/callforentry.htm The deadline for the submission of works and applications is April 10th, 2008 (postmark) After the event, a DVD/catalogue will be published, each of the admitted participants will receive a DVD/catalogue by the end of 2008. no application fee required! For additional information please contact: Levente Kozma email: simultan[at]simultan.org, tel: +40-740.300.806 for more details please visit www.simultan.org --- a video review of SIMULTAN03 www.youtube.com/simultanfestival www.myspace.com/simultanfestival --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ please distribute to interested people | apologies for any duplicates ]

C'est un espace de partage d'idées, d'entraide pour les utilisateurs de ces outils, un point d'entrée pour les débutants qui pourront y trouver des conseils pour démarrer. Un forum annonces est également disponible pour présenter les manifestations, workshops, concerts, associations, etc. qui donnent une place à ces pratiques. For english readers (sorry for cross posting) : Codelab.fr is a new french speaking forum devoted to the experimental practices for creation of pictures, videos, sound and music by code (processing, chuck, supercollider, livecode, pure-data, gem, vvvv, etc) or electronic experimentation (interfaces and instruments, circuit-bending, etc.) The software and languages approached on the forum are open-source (except for vvvv which is free for a not-commercial use). It is a crossroads where users could meet and help themselves. Beginners are welcome, and will be able to find some advices and help to start creative code programming.

xxxxx_workshop_39_40 Berlin: DIY HID sensors
by Derek Holzer 10 Mar '08

10 Mar '08

xxxxx_workshop_39_40 Berlin: Using Cheap Game Controllers and DIY Interface for Sensor Input into Pure Data with Derek Holzer & Martin Howse A (more-or-less) weekly series of constructivist workshops emphasising making and connection within the field of the existent. Calendar: March 15th 2PM: Using Cheap Game Controllers and DIY Interface for Sensor Input into Pure Data with Derek Holzer & Martin Howse March 29th 2PM: Hands on Theremin Workshop with Ralph Schreiber Forthcoming matter: Pinhole and Kirlian photography, radio telescopy, data forensics, scientific visualisation toolkits, hardware RNG, EVP, scrying boards and KiCad design ... contact if you're interested in leading a related workshop. //<------------------------------------------------- March 15th 2PM: Using Cheap Game Controllers and DIY Interface for Sensor Input into Pure Data with Derek Holzer & Martin Howse The workshop will focus on the quickest, cheapest way possible to get sensor input into the Pure Data programming environment - hacking USB game controllers and the HID (Human Interface Device) protocol. For often less than EUR 5 and a few minutes with the soldering iron, a clever artist can start plugging sensors which measure light, temperature, pressure, movement and many other things right into their laptop. We will also examine building our own USB input device using the ATmega8 microcontroller. Parts and tools for these projects as well as some sample sensors will be provided. Participants are encouraged to bring their own sensors and USB game controllers (joysticks, steering wheels, dancemats, toy guitars, fishing rods, etc etc) for experimentation. The Pure Data programming environment will be used to get the sensor information into the computer and map it to different parameters, ranging from MIDI to direct control of audio or video. Windows users should be aware that the possibilities for input on their systems may be more restricted. GNU/Linux and Mac OS X users should not expect any problems. Some links for those interested: http://puredata.info/ (Pure Data) http://puredata.info/downloads (install PD-Extended 0.39 from here!) http://at.or.at/hans/research/nime/ (HC Steiner's page on sensor interfaces) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sensors (every imaginable kind of sensor listed) ---What to bring: Essential: 1) Laptop running Linux, OS X or Windows (be advised that Windows users may have fewer possibilities) 2) Pure Data Extended 0.39 installed from: http://puredata.info/downloads (please mind that it is Extended and 0.39!!!!) 3) Soundcard (internal or external, quality a non-issue) 4) Headphones 5) EUR 15 participation fee Recommended/Suggested: 1) Sensors of any kind 2) USB game controller of any kind 3) Microphones or other sound inputs 4) Your own project ideas for discussion ---About the Teachers Derek Holzer [USA 1972] began working with Pure Data in 2001. Since then, he has taught and performed with the program across Europe, North America, Brazil and New Zealand. His work focuses on field recording, networked collaboration strategies, experiments in improvisational sound and the use of free software such as Pure-Data. He is currently writing a beginner's manual for Pure Data. http://www.umatic.nl/info_derek.html http://www.umatic.nl/workshops.html http://flossmanuals.net/puredata Martin Howse operates within the fields of discourse, speculative hardware (environmental data in open physical systems), code (an examination of layers of abstraction), free software and the situational (performances and interventions). http://1010.co.uk ---_______ Background: Workshops led by field-expert practitioners extend over realms of code and embedded code, environmental code, noise, transmission and reception, and electromysticism. Workshops solely utilise free software and GNU toolbase. Practitioners have included Martin Kuentz (prd(a)scrying.org), Julian Oliver (http://selectparks.net/), Derek Holzer (http://soundtransit.nl), Jeff Mann (http://jeffmann.com), Martin Howse (http://1010.co.uk), Fredrik Olofsson (http://www.fredrikolofsson.com/), Florian Cramer (http://cramer.plaintext.cc:70/), Brendan Howell, , jo FRGMNT grys(http://tob.de.vu/) xxxxx, pickledfeet, Linienstrasse 54, Berlin 10119 U2, Rosa-Luxemburg-Pl.

inside the wave
by marius schebella 09 Mar '08

09 Mar '08

hi, I did some Pd programming for an exhibition in the San Diego Museum of Art. http://www.sdmart.org/exhibition-future.html#inside-the-wave. I worked with Nina Waisman from the "particle group" and the sound installation is part of a bigger concept about nanotechnology. It is based on work we did last year for Berlin and will be up until June 22. more information at nina's site http://www.ninawaisman.net including a demo video http://www.ninawaisman.net/nano/nanoEmbed.html. marius.
