Medialab-Prado's Visualizar program is a research and education platform
devoted to exploring the culture of Big Data and its impact today in
science, society and the arts.
Since its first edition in 2007 the program has gathered more than one
hundred participants from all over the world who have developed projects
explaining stories about phenomena like pollution levels and traffic
flows within big cities, the use of social networks in political
campaigns or the financing of cultural institutions.
Each Visualizar edition includes an intensive project development
workshop, a conference, educational activities open to the public and
the exhibition of the developed projects.

In custom of the previous conventions we invite you to submit your papers related to the Pure Data programming environment in the fields of computer science, artistic creation and scientific research.

Papers from widely divergent perspectives are encouraged. Some possible topics could include:
• Libraries and externals extending Pd
• Tools built in or for Pd
• Education
• Spatialisation
• Pd on mobile devices
• Pd embedded in games and applications
• Pd as a framework for audiovisual works
Please check the website for the of terms of submission. Templates for the Papers (LaTeX, Open/LibreOffice) will be provided soon on the conventions home page:
http://www.uni-weimar.de/medien/wiki/Pure_Data_convention_2011
The conference is held in English, thereby the papers have to be in English. The length of a paper should be 4-8 pages, including an abstract (50-100 words) and up to 5 keywords.
Proposals for workshops of all levels, from beginner to special interest, may be directed my email to max.neupert at the domain uni-weimar.de
A separate call for music, performances and artworks will follow soon.
Please feel free to forward this email to anybody who might be interested!

Hi,

> Hi,

> Excuse my ignorance, but what use can one make of this external? Can it be
> used for mixing/mastering?
it may be used in that context, it may be used in sound installations as well.
> Also, how can i compile it on windows?
as said earlier: precompiled externals are available there
http://perso.limsi.fr/doukhan/cw_binaural~.tgz , one of them is for
windows.
Other wise you can get the source code from pd svn and compile it yourself.

Dear List,
It's been a long time since PDCON09, and I've been quite busy.
I finally cleaned up my code, did some improvements, and a
user-friendly documentation for the external cw_binaural~ .
In few words, cw_binaural~ is a binaural synthesis external allowing:
* the use of any hrtf database (listen, cipic, ...)
* the simultaneous use of different hrtfs
* the choice of the interpolation method used (all pass/pure delay
decomposition for better ITD estimation or no decomposition)
* the length of the HRIR considered
* the filtering method (spectral, temporal)
* the method used for the pure delay
Precompiled external (Linux, Mac Intel & Windows) and doc are now
available at http://perso.limsi.fr/doukhan/cw_binaural~.tgz
The external sources are available on pd svn:
trunk/externals/ddoukhan/cw_binaural~
The external has been initially described in:
CW_binaural~: a binaural synthesis external for Pure Data
David Doukhan and Anne Sedes, PDCON09
There have been few improvements since that time that are described in
the example patches.
The aim of that external is to be as user friendly as possible, so
feel free to tells any remarks helping to improve the external or the
help patches, or to ask any question concerning its use.
Hoping you will enjoy it!
