hola, release of P.i.D.i.P. 0.12.23 which is a release to improve camera support in pdp, as says the log file : ###################################################################### 0.12.23 ( codename My Mum's Cam ) added pdp_v4l2 : video 4 linux 2 object code template from pdp_v4l and xawtv ( v4l2 driver ), thanks to Tom Schouten & Gerd Knorr <kraxel(a)bytesex.org> added pdp_ieee1394 : finally, the firewire camera object for linux written by Lluis Gomez i Bigorda ( <lluisgomez(a)hangar.org> ) ###################################################################### for compiling the new pdp_ieee1394, you need to install the libdv-devel on debian or ubuntu ( remark for Hans ).. also, there is no more tarballs on my website, all the code is in SVN, and if you want to install, i recommend to install pd extended... i think everybody should consider doing the same, and avoid all these tarballs everywhere, but as you like... que disfruteis! sevy

piksel08 - code dreams :: open call
by 220hex 23 Jun '08

23 Jun '08

<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>> **Piksel08: code dreams december 4-7 2008 Bergen, Norway How does code dream? What are the dreams of code? Piksel08 examines the other side of code, an alternative side to a hard-coded reality of work and play. Open hardware and free software project a utopic vision, yet exist within economies of capital, the dream factory of mainstream technology. Within the chance meeting of sewing machine and umbrella on the dissecting table, hardware and software are flattened. Piksel08: code dreams explores the dreams of this soft machine; bachelors coding for pleasure, reverse engineering paranoiac constructs of the real, automatic coding practice, soft hardware, and everyday magic. <<<<<<<<>>>>>>>> **open call: 1. Installations Projects related to the code dreams theme including but not restricted to: reverse engineering, soft hardware, code poetry, novel instruction sets, invisible exploration, ghosted computation... programmed by and running on free and open source software and/or open/DIY hardware. 2. Audiovisual performance Live art realised by the use of free and open source software. We specially encourage live coding and DIY hardware projects to apply. 3. Software/Hardware Innovative DIY hardware and audiovisual software tools or software art released under an open licence. <<<<<< Deadline - august 15. 2008 >>>>>> Please use the online submit form at: http://piksel.no/piksel08/subform.html or send documentation material - preferably as a URL to online documentation with images/video to piksel08 [AT] piksel [DOT] no <<<<<<<<>>>>>>>> **subsections: **real code real.co.[de][re] actively explores code which has strong effects on the real, constructing the world through prediction and description. The twelve hour real.co.[de][re] session will attempt the active construction of a working code model (of any form) which addresses a flattening of the distinction between software and hardware, to resolve a new political reference for real core code. **abstract code Abstract code is software whose results can be invisible, a software implementing different layers of action at the same time. Abstract code is a connection to parallel worlds, a poetic formula dealing with outer forces. Code is art, its action is subtile, effective, magic. procedural text maledictions, oracles, iambi, hymn, formula, refrains, hypnotic sentences, prayers, and other. <<<<<<<<>>>>>>>> Piksel is supported by the Municipality of Bergen, Arts Council Norway, Vestnorsk Filmsenter, Hordaland County Council and others.

Pd-0.40.3-extended-rc2 released
by Hans-Christoph Steiner 22 Jun '08

22 Jun '08

For this release, there has been a lot of work in making the GUI and user experience much more fluid and easy. There is a new visual look that was designed to make patches more readable. Additionally, lots of things have been tweaked to make Pd behave more like a normal app. There has already been a lot of testing on these builds, so it is getting quite close to a final version. (Debian/PowerPC is missing now but will come later) http://at.or.at/hans/pd/installers.html Here is a partial changelog: - next visual appearance designed for readability - default locations for user-installed externals, helpfiles, etc. GNU/Linux: /usr/local/lib/pd-externals and ~/pd-externals Mac OS X: /Library/Pd and ~/Library/Pd Windows: %ProgramFiles%/Common Files/Pd and %UserProfile%/ Application Data/Pd - lots of standard key bindings added: Enter/Return for OK Escape for Cancel Ctrl/Cmd-W closes all windows on Mac OS X, Cmd-` cycles thru open windows on Mac OS X, Cmd-m minimizes windows Ctrl/Cmd-R raises/lowers Pd window Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-R shrinks/grows Pd window Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-L clears Pd window's text console Ctrl/Cmd-B opens the Help Browser - you can now use "~" in all paths to mean home folder, and on Windows you can use environment variables, lie %UserProfile% in paths - Cut/Copy/Paste now work directly into object and message boxes on all platforms - fixed Cut/Copy/Paste for the Pd window's console - [declare] and [import] now sorted out for loading (but much work needs to be done before there namespace support is complete) - "File -> Save As" defaults to the Home folder (~/) on Mac OSX - new patches default to the folder last saved in - included pgp_opengl aka 3dp on GNU/Linux and Mac OS X - 'hardware' and 'deprecated' removed from libraries loaded by default - On Debian/Ubuntu, the packages now install into /usr rather than / usr/local - On Mac OS X, you can now build "standalone" applications from the File menu. KNOWN BUGS - check http://puredata.info/dev/bugtracker before reporting bugs - Escape, Enter, and Ctrl/Cmd-W don't close the Path and Startup preferences - pdp_opengl is alpha and will definitely crash Pd - loading pdp_opengl will crash Pd if X11 is not open before trying to load it - the GUI runs slower on some older Macs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. - General Smedley Butler

workshop: build instruments with Pd, game controllers and arduino
by Hans-Christoph Steiner 21 Jun '08

21 Jun '08

I am giving this workshop at Hangar in Barcelona in a week and some. There is a cap of 15 people to keep it workable, but there are still a couple spots open. http://www.hangar.org/drupal/?q=content/workshop-hans-christoph-steiner 30 of june 2008 - 4 of july 17h-21h (possibility of working in the space the whole day if needed) participation : 20 euros inscription : activitats(a)hangar.org (with letter of motivation) This workshop will focus on building instruments using Pd with Arduino and game-controllers to control sound, video, and graphics in real time. It will cover getting data into Pd, turning that data into a usable form, then mapping the data to build engaging interactions and interesting performances. Participants will learn how to get data from the real world, process the data to eliminate noise and ignore unimportant details, then create a data flow that gives interesting control over media. If time permits, force and vibration feedback will be introduced. The workshop is for beginners as well as experienced users, but some experience with Pd is strongly encouraged. Bring in game controllers, tablets, mice, etc. or an Arduino with sensors. You can use your own laptop, the workshop will be preceded with a short installation help session. This course will prepare you for further work in audio, video, graphics or electronics. It will be project based, so bring a project idea to work on. By the end of the workshop, you should have something that works. .hc ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- News is what people want to keep hidden and everything else is publicity. - Bill Moyers
