Two curiously strange net-artworks/art-games. I would be more than
charmed for critiques/praises on these works. And of course
extra-overjoyed if you spread them around.

so with great fervor and sadness)

Hello,
I am proud to announce CouchPdb 0.1, a library for communication with
CouchDB, a document-oriented database.
The library consists of three objects: [couchdb] for the communication
with CouchDB, [json-encode] for building JSON objects for storing in the
database, and [json-decode] that uses the same mechanisms as [couchdb]
for outputting JSON objects.
Currently the Makefile is only optimized for Debian GNU/Linux Wheezy,
you will need a version of libcurl-dev and libjson0-dev (alias json-c)
installed.
Help patches for the objects are included, please report bugs on the
project homepage. For the help patches to work, you will need to have a
running instance of CouchDB on localhost and port 5984 (standard port).

Thanks for your attention and your help,
Thomas

This is short notice because we just finalized the details, thanks to
schedules, travel plans, and hurricanes. But this month we have two
events with special guest Peter Kirn.
Peter is a musician, Create Digital Music blogger
(http://createdigitalmusic.com/), and is involved in porting pdlib to
Processing and the design of the hackable synthesizer, the MeeBlip
(http://meeblip.noisepages.com/).
On Thursday, September 8th, from 7-10 PM, Peter will be teaching a
workshop about using pdlib within Processing.
“Image And Music: Make Your Own Musical Tools, Free, with Processing and Pd”
Workshop Thursday September 8th from 7-10 pm. Limited space, $60. Sign
up for the workshop in the store
(http://store.crashspacela.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2&prod…).
Make your own instrument, sequencer, or effect, then give it a visual
interface – not just fake knobs and buttons, but via any picture you
desire. Now you can, with two integrated tools, entirely for free.
More info on the blog:

... or on CDM: http://createdigitalmusic.com/2011/09/workshop-in-la-make-your-own-musical-…
... and there's a Facebook event as well:

On Sunday, September 11th, starting at Noon, Peter will join us for
the monthly Pd/Max/MSP patching circle. Bring your project from the
workshop, or any other project you’re working on. This is also a good
chance to learn more about Pure Data (Pd) or Max/MSP.
The patching circle meets at CRASHspace (10526 Venice Blvd, Culver
City CA 90232) and is open and free to all. Donations to support
CRASHspace are of course welcome.
