by Scott Hewitt 30 Apr '08

30 Apr '08

[ANN] Weekend of Speakers Call 13th June to 15 June Call for fixed media, performance and improvisation work to be diffused across 36 discrete loud speakers and explore the particular physicality of the location (St Paul's Hall). Works are required for a variety of performance, improvisation and installations settings: floorplan and speaker placement maps are on the website (see below). While traditional tapes works are welcome, laptop performance, live diffusion, installation and instrumental works with electronics in particular are sought. For more see online @ www.inclusiveimprov.co.uk/wofs Were? St Paul's Hall, University of Huddersfield, UK When? June 13th -> June 15th Cost? All Events Free -in fact this is all being done on favors To submit work for consideration please email calls(a)inclusiveimprov.co.uk by May 19th with appropriate links. And if you have a really crazy idea for this opportunity email us with your thoughts.

xxxxx_workshop_44 Berlin: PD sensor input part II
by Derek Holzer 22 Apr '08

22 Apr '08

April 26th 2PM: AVR/HID Sensor Input into Pure Data with Derek Holzer & Martin Howse We will continue last month's investigation of quick and cheap ways of getting sensor input into the Pure Data programming environment, using either USB game controllers or ATmega8 microcontrollers and the HID (Human Interface Device) protocol. Participants should bring the AVR/HID boards and/or hacked joysticks from the previous workshop. Those who did not attend the previous workshop are welcome, and ready made sensor boards can be purchased as part of the participation fee. Please RSVP to <m(a)1010.co.uk> if you plan to attend, and indicate whether you will need a sensor input board for Saturday. A few (!) sample sensors will be provided, but participants are encouraged to bring their own sensors (light, pressure, motion, 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://1010.co.uk/avrhid.html (AVR/HID board documentation) http://puredata.info/downloads (install PD-Extended 0.39 from here!) http://www.sensorwiki.org/index.php/Main_Page (comprehensive list of sensors for musical use) ---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 10 participation fee (+ 8 euros if you need a sensor board) 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 ---_______ xxxxx_workshops A (more-or-less) weekly series of constructivist workshops emphasising making and connection within the field of the existent. Forthcoming matter: May 3rd: Ephemeral Exposures//Instant Imagery with Alice Miceli And Kathrin Guenter Kirlian photography, radio telescopy, data forensics, EVP/ITC, scrying boards, KiCad PCB design, CMOS audio synthesis, GStreamer framework ... contact if you're interested in leading a related workshop. //<------------------------------------------------- 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.

Through 'pure:dyne for everyone', pure:dyne will reach out to more people - noobs, artists, local users - in a year-long programme of system development, documentation, user support and special public events with partnering media arts centers across the UK. pure:dyne for everyone is a project by GOTO10 and friends. With partners Access Space, MediaShed and Folly, 'pure:dyne for everyone' is supported by the Creative Partnerships programme of Arts Council England. ----------------------------------- 2. upcoming pure:dyne public events ----------------------------------- * Introduction to video editing, processing and streaming 9-10 May 2008, LoveBytes Sheffield, with Access Space Info: jake-at-access-space-dot-org, info-at-lovebytes-dot-org-dot-uk * Free Software for music making and home studios 20th June 2008, Open Source City Liverpool, with Folly Info: enquiries-at-folly-dot-co-dot-uk * Pure Data for live music 21nd June, Open Source City Liverpool, with Folly Info: enquiries-at-folly-dot-co-dot-uk * pure:dyne presentation and FLOSS+Art book launch TBA, Fall 2008 London, with Mute magazine * pure:dyne workshop TBA, Fall 2008 London/Southend-on-sea, with MediaShed and Mongrel * + More events to be announced! :) --------------------------------- 3. pure:dyne code sprints in 2008 --------------------------------- 28 April - 2 May 2008, secret base inside a volcano 23 - 27 June 2008, underwater mobile power plant autumn 2008, TBA As part of 'pure:dyne for everyone', pure:dyne's core developer team (plus friends) will stage three code sprints in 2008 to develop all aspects of the system and documentation. Be a lurker and join our IRC channel #pure:dyne on irc.goto10.org to check what's being cooked. pure:dyne is currently developed by Rob Canning, Heather Corcoran, Antonios Galanopoulos, Karsten Gebbert, Claude Heiland-Allen, Aymeric Mansoux, Chun Lee, and Marloes de Valk. --------------------------------- 4. A new, Debian based pure:dyne! --------------------------------- Starting 2008, pure:dyne will be based on the Debian operating system. While we aim to provide the same features as before and a live distribution in the form of a live CD, live DVD and live USB, we will be able to build up on top of the great Debian community and provide a larger range of software and develop much more advanced functionalities. At the same time we are quite happy to give back in return our efforts to this community and make available the software we package for most Debian based distros around. ---------------- 5. find out more ---------------- Mailing list: http://lists.goto10.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/puredyne IRC: #pure:dyne on irc.goto10.org Web: http://puredyne.goto10.org :*
