tutorials, panels, papers and institutional presentations. It showcases over
180 artworks ranging from large-scale interactive installations to
cutting-edge electronic music performances. The theme of

reach out into the world and effect genuine change. These subthemes include
Climate Change, Disruption and Urban Landscapes, Contemporary Curatorial
Practices, Media Activism and Subversion, DIY Technology, BioArt, Sound
Ecology, Embodied Art Practices, Geopolitics, and more.
To frame the discussion around the artistic, scientific, technological, and
social manifestations of disruption as a cultural phenomenon, ISEA2015 will
feature keynote addresses by visionaries such as Brian Massumi, Michael
Connor, Dominique Moulon, Hildegard Westerkamp, and Sara Diamond. Master
disruptors The Yes Men will close the symposium with an address on the use
of creative expression for subversion and disruption.

ISEA2015 STUDENT VOLUNTEER PROGRAM
VOLUNTEER APPLICATION DEADLINE – 20 June 2015 22:00 PST
The 21st International Symposium on Electronic Art invites students, artists, practitioners who want to be ‘where the action is’ to volunteer for ISEA2015. What is ISEA2015?
The International Symposium on Electronic Art (ISEA) is the main nomadic international academic gathering focused on electronic and digital arts. Since its inception in 1988 in the Netherlands, it has been organized in 4 continents and in over 20 international cities that span Istanbul, Paris, Munich, Albuquerque, Sydney and Dubai. ISEA last came to Canada in 1995 in Montreal, where it had a tremendously positive impact on the local community both in terms of cultural and economic shifts that remain central to Montreal even today! ISEA brings together scholarly, artistic, and scientific domains in an interdisciplinary discussion and showcase of creative productions applying new technologies in art, interactivity, and electronic and digital media.
ISEA2015 is hosted by Simon Fraser University's Faculty of Communication, Arts, and Technology, its School for the Contemporary Arts, and its School for Interactive Arts + Technology (SIAT). We expect 1000+ artists, scholars, researchers and students from around the world, making it the largest event on electronic art and digital media offered to date in British Columbia. While centered at SFU Woodward's, our programming is overflowing in various venues in the Vancouver area. Partners include many local artistic organisations and venues including: the vancouver Art Gallery, the Western Front, VIVO, the Museum of Vancouver (MOV), Grunt Gallery, Vancouver New Music, 221A, New Westminster New Media Gallery, Fortune Sound Club, the New Form Festival, amongst others. As such, we believe that this event will exemplify SFU's vision of engaging students, engaging research (both practice and theory), and engaging the local, national and international communities.
ISEA2015 is a five-day symposium featuring over 500+ speakers, presenting 19 workshops, 10 tutorials, papers, panels, roundtables, posters, and demonstrations, and showcasing over 180 artworks ranging from large-scale interactive artworks to cutting-edge electronic music performances. The theme of ISEA2015 - Disruption - will allow re-examining and re-negotiating the frontiers between the academic and the art world, between practice and theory, between systems and reality, between art and society.
To frame this dialogue, ISEA2015 will feature keynote addresses by visionary pioneers such as Brian Massumi, Michael Connor, Dominique Moulon, Hildegard Westerkamp and Sara Diamond. The Yes Men will cloture the symposium with an address on the use of creative expression for disruption and subversion.

I've written an article explaining a patch that I coded to make some odd/glitchy live tweakable sounds:

It might be a good reference for people wanting to learn more about Pd as it is a fairly minimal patch so feel free to use it in your own course material if you'd like.
