Michal Seta présente RjDj
RjDj est une application pour le iPhone (et bientôt le iPod Touch) pour
distribuer de la musique réactive, interactive, des jeux audio etc. par
l'entremise de ce smart-phone populaire. Les "scènes" distribuées avec RjDj
sont programmées avec Pure data. Les programmeurs de scènes RjDj ont accès à
l'entrée micro de iPhone ainsi que les données d'accéléromètre intégré et ainsi
peuvent créer des environnements sonores liées directement aux actions des
utilisateurs.
Je vais vous montrer l'application RjDj sur iPhone avec certaines scènes et je
vais donner un aperçu de mes expériences acquises lors du dernier "sprint" RjDj
auquel j'ai participé à Vancouver.
Distribution d'affiches et flyers de MakeArt
Thomas Vriet a envoyé à Montréal, de la part de GOTO10, quelques affiches et
flyers de MakeArt, qui seront distribués à PdMtl#29 aux personnes présentes.

source tool Puredata to send works and projects alike in the following
categories:
**
*- Art Festival:*
(*Art Instalations, Concerts, Performances & Audiovisual Presentations).
*
*- Mini-Courses & Workshops.***
*- Paper Sessions/Posters.***
*- Round Tables & Discussions.*
Applicants are invited to submit in multiple categories, although this will
be an indifferent criteria in the selection process. On theother hand, it
is important to notice we are looking for a diverse collection of works,
hence there might be a selection among several similar proposals.
Let us know if you have an institution support that may cover travel
expenses, we are looking for partnerships to help with funds.
*The event will be held in Sao Paulo, Brazil, from July 20th to july 26th,
2009.*
*Location & Partnership*:
- *MIS*, the Museum of Image and Sound of São Paulo.
-* PUC*, multimedia and design school.
- *SESC*, CINESESC Sao Paulo.
*Deadline for proposal*s: 1st of March 2009!
*Acceptance notice*: March 30th 2009!
Here is the address to send works & questions to: *pdcon09(a)estudiolivre.org*
*About the Event:*
Puredata, or just Pd <http://puredata.info/>, is an open source tool for
multimedia programming. Because of its open source nature, much of its
development result from a community effort of developers worldwide. Some
centers do have more people engaged, like the places that held the two
previous conventions.
the first convention took place in Graz, Austria, in 2004 <
http://puredata.info/community/projects/convention04/>. The second happpened
in Montreal, Canada, in 2007 <http://pure-data.ca/en/>. It is a great
satisfaction that we continue this event by bringing it to yet another
continent, with the intent to promote the formation of an important group of
developers locally. In fact, in may of 2008, we had a national convention in
Brasil <http://www.estudiolivre.org/tiki-index.php?page=Encontro%20PD>,
which followed the same format of the previous international conventions,
and worked as a first gathering to organize this international event. The
format includes the show of artistic works, academic works, discussion
regarding the interests of the community, and diverse courses.
*Proposals for the Art Festival:*
(*Performances, Concerts, Audiovisual Presentations & Art Instalations
(audio And/Or Visual)*
As it is the general concept of the event, we long for the discussion
regarding the aesthetics and politics of Free / Open Source Software Culture
& technology. In such context, we wellcome All forms of works related to
audio and/or visual, including real-time interactive works, improvisations,
Live electronics/instrumental/electroacoustic mixes, Sound installations,
Performances, Network art, Robotics, Software Art and Interdisciplinary
works.
Demonstrations and General Info about Artistic works can be submitted online
in Portuguese, Spanish, or English. Please, specify the necessary materials
so we can do our best to provide them.
If language is a part of the artwork, the festival is open to any idiom,
although subtitles in english should be provided when applicable.
We look for art installations that adopted Puredata in its development.
Nevertheless, at the last extent, we are open for works realized under the
context of Puredata (using puredata in some part of the process) as well as
open source tools.
We are looking for partners to help us with tickets. Any suggestion is
welcome.
*Note for ART-INSTALLATIONS (Audio And/Or Visual):*
*In order to avoid dependence on travel funds from the event, it would be
nice to have some works installed without the need for the artist(s) to be
on-site. This also implies that such works should be technically simple. We
are looking for partners to help us with tickets. Any suggestion is welcome.
*
*Call for Poster/Papers:*
Abstracts and papers may be submitted in English. The works will be
organized in categories depending on the what we receive. At first, we
contemplate a greater distinction into 3 categories: Technical, Artistic and
Theoretical.
The topics are generally open to the usage of Puredata in interactive
art production/research, the philosophy and social aspect of Free Open
Source Culture, and scientific research. Some possible themes could include:
*- Programming PureData externals
- Puredata versus Max/MSP*
*- Puredata versus SuperColider, Csound, Processing and alike
*
*- Hacking Puredata*
*- Future Projections for Puredata*
*- Using Puredata in Science/Research & Artistic Works*

*Sobre o Evento:*
Puredata, ou simplesmente Pd <http://puredata.info/>, é uma ferramenta open
source para programação em multimídia. Justamente por ser open source, muito
do seu desenvolvimento resulta de um esforço comunitário de desenvolvedores
internacionais. Dos centros com uma base sólida de desenvolvedores,
destacam-se os locais que sediaram as duas primeiras convenções
internacionais.
A primeira convenção de Puredata ocorreu em Graz, na Áustria em 2004 <
http://puredata.info/community/projects/convention04/>. A segunda se deu em
Montreal, no Canadá, em 2007 <http://pure-data.ca/en/>. É com grande
satisfação que damos continuidade ao evento trazendo-o para um novo
continente, com o intuito de promover no local a formação de um grupo
importante de desenvolvedores. Em maio de 2008, inclusive, também tivemos
uma convenção nacional aqui no Brasil <
http://www.estudiolivre.org/tiki-index.php?page=Encontro%20PD>, que segiu o
molde e formato dos eventos internacionais, e serviu de preparo para a
organização deste evento internacional. O formato do evento é multifacetado
e inclui mostra de trabalhos artísticos, trabalhos acadêmicos, discussões do
interesse da comunidade, e cursos diversos.
*Propostas para a Mostra Artística:*
*(**Performances, Concertos & Apresentações Audiovisuais).*

Postgraduate study in spatial sound – SIAL Sound Studios, RMIT UniversitySIAL Sound Studios, RMIT University are accepting applications for postgraduate research by project as part of two research streams; spatial composition and performance and urban soundscape design and research. Applications are now being accepted for fee-paying postgraduates to commence in 2009.Critical dates;Enquirries until 22 Dec 2008Applications due 23 Jan 2009Notification 30 Jan 2009Enrollment by 30 March 2009The SIAL Studios are based in RMIT University’s Spatial Information Architecture Laboratory, which is part of the School of Architecture and Design. SIAL is a facility for innovation in transdisciplinary design research and education. It embraces a broad range of investigative modes, involving both highly speculative and industry linked projects. SIAL is concerned with the integration of technical, theoretical and social concerns as part of its innovation agenda. High-end computing, modeling and communication tools associated with disparate disciplines are combined with traditional production techniques. Researchers are engaged in a wide variety of projects that collaboratively disturb artificial distinctions between the physical and virtual, digital and analogue, scientific and artistic, instrumental and philosophical. While relevant research involves an extensive breadth of technological developments in areas such as Multimedia, Soundscape Systems, Mechatronics, Computer Graphics and Interfaces, Materials technology, Manufacturing processes, Collaborative Virtual Environments, Animation, Computer Games, Virtual Reality Facilities, GIS and on-line environments, SIAL does not focus on any of these systems or realms of technology per se. Rather, it interrogates the relationships these areas foster for cross-disciplinary production. Application requirementsApplicants will have undergraduate or Masters qualifications in music composition or performance, electroacoustic music, sound design or other design disciplines.Applicants should first send a draft research topic – 1 x A4 page.Details of application process are available here;http://www.rmit.edu.au/browse;ID=nxqw9kmc6lzgFees for Masters or PhD are AUD18,720 per year.The research environmentThe research environment of the SIAL Sound Studios is open to postgraduates from design, architecture, music and sound backgrounds. Applicants must have intermediate to advanced skills in studio production to realize their projects. Researchers within the Studios are internationally recognized for their contributions to sound design, electroacoustic performance practice, acoustic ecology and design research. Post-graduate supervision is activated through weekly meetings, industry projects, local and commonwealth funded research, the Studio's seminar series, and the Graduate Research Conference. The research environment is primarily articulated through practice-based research. Opportunities for postgraduates to realise projects in the public domain are being developed, including access to Melbourne’s large-scale urban soundscape systems, smaller university soundscape systems, and spatial performances using the Studio’s 32-channel sound diffusion system.The Postgraduates will contribute to the larger projects through discrete projects of their own research. Design projects should address, but not be limited to:-spatialized performance/electroacoustic performance practize-Urban soundscape designs for multi-channel systems-Evaluating urban soundscape designs and urban soundscape planning models-Software projects for spatialized performance, installations or gesture control-Analysis of contemporary spatial compositions and installation practice-integrating 3D design softwares within spatial sound designContact: lawrence.harvey(a)rmit.edu.au sialsoundstudios(a)rmit.edu.auWeb: www.sial.rmit.edu.au

December 13, 2008
Sat., Dec. 13, 1PM – workshops
6PM: Holiday party (think spiked eggnog, cider and holiday treats!)
540 W. 21st St.
Cost: Free. Calling all makers, residents, fellows, and friends …
If you haven’t yet experienced everyone’s favorite holiday gift-
making event, here’s the scoop: For one day and one day only, Eyebeam
becomes an all-ages, mutl-workshop electronic craft-making fair, with
entertainment, decorations and plenty of holiday spirit.
Have an iPod you want to repurpose into a hackable music machine?
Install iPodLinux and make music with Pd! Want to play Doom on your
iPod Video? Come install Rockbox! Did your trusty iPod’s battery
finally die, or disk give in? Come and break open your iPod, either
the software, the hardware or both. Give it new life and new purpose.
Also, we have on hand our stash of old iPods for harvesting parts,
and the newfound skills for frankensteining dead iPods into living
ones. Join Hans-Christoph Steiner and Chris “the Widget” DiMauro with
your own iPod, or try your hand to see if you can create a living one
from our pile.
This workshop is a place to get exposed to the possibilities. We’ve
been hacking on some iPods to see what’s possible. Lots of this
software is kind of raw, but you can do lots of fun stuff now. We are
just getting started, we are having fun exploring the options. Now we
want to help you do the same.
Check out our wiki to see if your devices are supported:

Computer science is no more related to the computer than astronomy is
related to the telescope. -Edsger Dykstra
Hey all,
Spencer Russell just got one of the Reware PDa images booting on his
Beagle Board, so I figured I'd announce an alpha release for anyone
who wants to try it out:

You can't steal a gift. Bird gave the world his music, and if you can
hear it, you can have it. - Dizzy Gillespie
We've been working at Eyebeam since July on making it easy to hack
old devices and run new software on them. We now have our first
Reware HOWTO video, showing the basics of how to use a Reware image
yourself, then it illustrates some of the Pd patches we've made:
http://dev.eyebeam.org/projects/reware/blog/48
Coming soon, a image for running Pd, Python, and Lua programs on
PDAs, as well as a HOWTO for making Pd patches for 1-5G iPods. The
key idea is to turn old PDAs, mobile phones, etc. into something like
an Arduino, where you can easily upload your own code to the device.
