Pd club - 1st meeting!
http://www.as220.org/labs/pd/
Wednesday, June 24
7:00 - 8:30 PM
AS220 Labs
115 Empire St., 2nd floor
Providence, RI 02903 USA
Come down to AS220 Labs and join the Pd club for it's first meeting!!!
The Pd club will be a periodic, informal gathering (a "patching
circle") where Providence-area "patchers" can work together, exchange
ideas, trouble-shoot, and learn from one-another. The club is open
to all, from beginners to experts. Artists, students, teachers,
programmers, hobbyists, and the "just-curious" are welcome. The only
requirements are that you like a challenge and have a laptop.
On the agenda for the first meeting will be an introduction to Pd by
Shawn Greenlee. Shawn will cover the basics of patching, working
with sound, and handling communication with Arduino boards and MIDI
devices.
Before the meeting adjourns, we'll get beginners up and running and
determine the summer schedule for meetings.
What to bring: your laptop with Pd-extended installed.

MAKE ART 2009 - What The Fork?!
distributed and open practices in FLOSS art
--
CALL FOR PROJECTS
--
make art is an international festival dedicated to the integration of
Free/Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS) in digital art.
The fourth edition of make art – What The Fork?! distributed and open
practices in FLOSS art - will take place in Poitiers (FR), from the 7th
to the 13th of December 2009.
make art offers performances, presentations, workshops and an
exhibition, focused on the encounter between digital art and free
software.
We're currently seeking new, innovative FLOSS works and projects: music
and audiovisual performances, presentations, software demos, and
installations.
This year make art focuses on distributed and open practices in FLOSS
art. 'What the fork?!' is about decentralisation. Forking is the new
black. Forking, copying the source code of a project and continuing
work on the copy instead of the original, used to have a bad reputation.
It would split a project and its developer community in pieces, leading
to different, often incompatible, projects. Wasted effort, rivalry and
developer fights were all associated concepts. This is history. Forking
a project with the intention to compete with it is another story, but
the freedom to fork enables quick implementation of features and
customization, bypassing acquiring committer status, bugfix or feature
request protocol, working in a distributed way, together with others but
not necessarily towards one goal, working from one source,
cross-fertilising, inspiring, copying, patching, improving,
experimenting, changing direction, and merging. This practice is boosted
by decentralised software development tools, such as Darcs, Mercurial
and Git. It's not about quick hacks, but about creating room to
experiment, letting go of the one working copy and creating a
multiplicity of ideas.
Deadline : 15th of July 2009.

of usability enhancements and bug fixes. There are some new features
in the core and in the many included libraries.
http://puredata.org/downloads/
Here's the rough changelog:
- fixed strict-aliasing build problems with cyclone, iemlib, bsaylor,
and sigpack
- added/fixed "Next Window" menu item and key binding (Cmd-` on Mac OS
X)
- lots of usability fixes and improvements

- changed to GPL v3
- fixed paths that used the same image for Gem examples
- fixed paths to example images in Gem help
- libdirs now load properly when using [import]/[declare] to load a
libdir outside of the sys_libdir (i.e. extra) into the canvas-local
namespace
- single [output~] that works everywhere
- improved Max Text file (.pat) importing and exporting and added
the ability to handle .mxt files, and binary .mxb and .help files

If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an
idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps
it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into
the possession of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself
of it. - Thomas Jefferson
Phillip Andrew Lewis and I are offering one day intensive courses for
beginners the AVA in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The course will focus on
introducing data structures and sound synthesis techniques. We will
also show examples of various ways Pure Data is used, methods for
working and troubleshooting in PD, and introduce the PD community.
We will create an adaptable set of related patches, a sort of "tool
box" each student can take away and adapt for future use. AVA is
letting us use of their galleries for to set up and test audio
installations at the end of each day.
This class is designed for people with little or no prior experience.
Computers are provided or you can bring your laptop.
Session 1: Saturday, June 27/ 10am-4pm
Session 2: Sunday, June 28/ 10am-4pm

Hello list,
Sorry in french only.
Premier workshop (4 jours) :
PureData, une introduction
du 28 au 31 juillet 2009
Contenu:
Ce stage est une introduction à PureData dans un contexte de création
visuelle en temps réel, ainsi qu'aux possibilités d'interaction et
d'échange de données sur les réseaux.
Après la révolution du montage vidéo numérique, la nouvelle (r)
évolution est le traitement de la vidéo, de la 3D et des flux de
données en temps réel. Utilisés aussi bien en performance (VJ, Live
Cinema) que dans les arts de la scène (danse, théatre) ou dans les
environnements interactifs, les nouveaux logiciels de traitement en
temps réel sont aussi une autre manière de produire de la vidéo
linéaire, de la 3D ou du son.
Le stage explore un des principaux outils actuels: PureData + GEM,
environnement 'opensource' de programmation visuelle créé par Miller
Puckette. Pd est un équivalent gratuit de MAX/MSP permettant de
nombreuses manipulations en terme de son, d'image, de vidéo, de 3D,
d'interaction en temps réel, mais aussi en terme d'échanges de
données sur les réseaux.
Formateur : Jack/RYBN
Deuxième workshop (4 jours) :
PureData, 3D Temps Réel et modèles physiques
du 3 au 6 août 2009
Contenu:
Durant ce workshop de 4 jours, nous aborderons de manière pratique la
modélisation physique et la synthèse 3D en temps-réel. Les librairies
pmpd et msd pour PureData permettent de simuler des comportements
naturels d'objets simples: cordes, membranes, fluides, sables, ...
Ces librairies seront explorées pour différents usages: filtrage de
signal, contrôle de la synthèse sonore, mais surtout elles seront
employées pour la synthèse 3D en temps-réel dans GEM.
Les participants du workshop apprendront dans un premier temps à
créer puis à manipuler des structures modélisées. Puis des techniques
avancées de dessin et de création graphique seront détaillées pour
représenter les structures développées.
Formateur : Nicolas Montgermont
Conditions de Participation :
Ces stages sont accessibles à tout artiste, étudiant en art,
désigner, infographiste, vidéaste, programmeur, enseignant...
