5. Early warning. Select Media Festival 7 : Infoporn
Announcing the Seventh Annual Select Media Festival: INFOPORN
Deadline for submission: September 1, 2008
>start>>>>
Heartbeats. Beverages. Products and byproducts. Things we make, and things
that make us. Seconds, minutes, millennia. From the mundane to the majestic,
it can all be documented, diagnosed, understood, dispersed. Right?
Graphs, charts, and maps record data, keep history, and document our
existence. Sometimes, they provide visual and aesthetic stimuli too. Select
Media 7: INFOPORN will be a visual explosion of these points and paths,
these executions and exercises and maps. We want to put these moments on
display, to measure them out out. We want to understand and appreciate; be
enraged, enlightened, amazed by them. We want to feast.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR!
INFOPORN EXHIBITION
all media formats
Send your greatest hits or make something new. Use color, shape, form,
sound. Use marbles or twigs. Use a computer, a camera, a crayon. The data is
the art and you are the simple stenographer. Measure it. Record it. Jot it
down, plot it out, pass it out, and capture it. Let us see it, let us relate
to it, let us celebrate or begin to understand it.
A SUBJECTIVE ATLAS OF CHICAGO
all media formats
Document the thing that has the greatest effect on your existence in
Chicago. Realign existing info, or imagine new ways of navigating the city.
Maps political or personal, realism or utopia, rollerblades or red tape,
online or inline: it's all legit. Draw conclusions if you want, but they are
not necessary. A publication/project will be created and released/exhibited
at the festival.
>>>
Deadline!
September 1, 2008
Send PDFs, posters, boxes of dirt, publications, CDs, DVDs, cassette tapes,
crayon boxes, maps in bottles, urls, ftp sites, etc. to:

Finally, it's done! The most polished release of Pd yet. We are
further refining Pd into a truly powerful and usable programming
platform.
http://puredata.org/downloads/
This release is dedicated to Jamie Tittle, aka tigital, who recently
died of cancer. He was a long time and key contributor to Gem and Pd
in general, even while he was in the hospital undergoing treatment.
He is sorely missed in this community, and I am sure by many others.
Some highlights of this release:
* more functional namespace tools ([declare] and [import])
* new appearance designed to enhance readability
* GLSL shader support in Gem
* usability improvements
* on Mac OS X, you can now build "standalone" applications
* standard locations for user-installed externals
* many bug fixes
Here's the rough changelog:
- next visual appearance designed for readability
- default locations for user-installed externals, helpfiles, etc.
GNU/Linux: /usr/local/lib/pd-externals and ~/pd-externals
Mac OS X: /Library/Pd and ~/Library/Pd
Windows: %ProgramFiles%/Common Files/Pd and %UserProfile%/
Application Data/Pd
- lots of standard key bindings added:
Enter/Return for OK
Escape for Cancel
Ctrl/Cmd-W closes all windows
on Mac OS X, Cmd-` cycles thru open windows
on Mac OS X, Cmd-m minimizes windows
Ctrl/Cmd-R raises/lowers Pd window
Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-R shrinks/grows Pd window
Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-L clears Pd window's text console
Ctrl/Cmd-B opens the Help Browser
- you can now use "~" in all paths to mean home folder, and on
Windows you can use environment variables, lie %UserProfile% in paths
- improved Cut/Copy/Paste support for working in object and message
boxes
- fixed Cut/Copy/Paste for the Pd window's console
- [declare] and [import] now sorted out for loading (but much work
needs to be done before there namespace support is complete)
- "File -> Save As" defaults to the Home folder (~/) on Mac OSX
- new patches default to the folder last saved in
- included pgp_opengl aka 3dp on GNU/Linux and Mac OS X
- 'hardware' and 'deprecated' removed from libraries loaded by default
- On Debian/Ubuntu, the packages now install into /usr rather than /
usr/local
- On Mac OS X, you can now build "standalone" applications from the
File menu.
- bug fixes and clean up of [hid] and mapping externals
- included config in Info.plist for the Spotlight Importer
KNOWN BUGS
- check http://puredata.info/dev/bugtracker before reporting bugs
- Escape, Enter, and Ctrl/Cmd-W don't close the Path and Startup
preferences
- pdp_opengl is alpha and will definitely crash Pd
- loading pdp_opengl will crash Pd if X11 is not open before trying
to load it
- the GUI runs slower in some situations
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi PD list,
Yet another invitation to a weekend of PD hacking at www.realityjockey.com
Günter
= RJ Sprint, August 2008, Barcelona =
RJ sprint2
The second sprint takes place in Barcelona, Spain on August 8,9,10. Again,
this date comes with very little notice time but we hope you can make it.
We are providing traveling costs and accommodation for 10 People. Send us
an email to michael at realityjockey.com if you are up for it. For those
of you who are totally new here, please read the posting of our last
sprint [1].
We will make it as convenient as possible to join us online for everyone
who is on the other side of the planet.
The focus of this sprint is still on content creation using PD. We had a lot
of progress in our first sprint and some really exiting moments listening to
the results. Roman and Guenter are currently preparing a bundle of PD
objects,
documentation and best practice during the days left to the Barcelona
sprint.
With the progress we have in the RJ player we are expecting some exiting new
concepts and content in Barcelona. Content is king.
It is still early days in the RJ world and we are discovering new ways of
creating and consuming music with every bit of technical progress in the
project. We would love to tell you about this all and encourage your
creativity doing RJ tracks. Right now we can offer to you not more and not
less than being among the first RJs. Your RJ tracks will be the first tracks
download able on the RJ player. If we manage to turn RJ into a success
story, your name and your tracks will be part of this success.
The topics of the sprint are very much depending on the participants but in
general we will tackle the following problems:
* RJ composition framework, what is the best way doing the job?
* Create new RJ tracks, go for it, test it, do it!
* Sensory input, what do we need and how to improve accuracy.
Again, your feedback will have direct impact on the development of the RJ
format, player and composition tools. Sprint Camp or Boot Camp?
We will work from Pauls terrace which is in cuitat vella, in the middle of
the old town of Barcelona. Marquees will protect from too much sun. Since
Pauls terrace is astonishing big we will also provide tents to make this
sprint more like a Sprint Camp. Barbeques and plenty of drinks will provide
the adequate environment.
RJ tracks are mainly consumed with headphones. Think of it as the next
generation of walkman or mp3 player. The consumer experience of RJ is
similar
to the effects of drugs. Drugs affect our sensory perception, so does RJ. RJ
is a mind twisting hearing sensation.
Date: 8,9,10 August 2008;
Location: cuitat vella, Barcelona, Spain
Hotel: Tents
If you want to join us, please contact michael at realityjockey.com
Thanks,
Michael Breidenbruecker, Günter Geiger, Paul Brossier, Amaury Hazan.

You've got Pluggability. Pure Data in the Summer.
29-31 August, 2008
xxxxx/pickledfeet, Berlin
Cost: 60 EUR (with HID sensor board), 50 EUR (without)
Pure Data (Pd) presents the ultimate, free software environment for
sheer audio, video and hardware pluggability, patching and piping. Pd
provides the basis for all manner of audiovisual performance and
trans-media installation, as well as satisfying the artistic quest for
heady experimentation and improvisation. Yet few artists take the time
to master a solid foundation in this graphical programming
environment.
The three day You've got pluggability workshop aims to provide a firm
grounding and clear overview of the varied possibilities and paths
offered by Pure Data. The first day will introduce Pd and quickly move
on to how to create patches which create sounds and noises. The second
day will look further at sound, particularly how to work with sampled
audio, and will introduce the GEM library for working with live and
recorded video. The third day will start with a look at the HID (Human
Interface Device) system for getting sensor input into Pd, and venture
into to using this input to control the audio and video patches which
the participants have already created. No previous experience is
necessary to take this workshop.
This PD workshop will be roughly based on the Pure Data FLOSS Manual,
written by Derek Holzer, Luka Princic, Adam Hyde and contributors from
the PD community: http://flossmanuals.net/puredata
Participants should bring their own laptop running GNU/Linux, Mac OS X or
Windows, and with Pure Data Extended installed from:
http://puredata.info/downloads
They are also encouraged to bring their own ideas, sensors, USB game
controllers, MIDI devices, microphones and video cameras. There will
be an opportunity to buy the inexpensive xxxxx-HID sensor input board
produced at Pickled Feet: http://1010.co.uk/avrhid.html
Limited places! Please register before 24 August at: m(a)1010.co.uk
---About the Teachers
Derek Holzer [USA 1972] began working with Pure Data in 2001. Since
then, he has taught and performed with the program across Europe,
North America, Brazil and New Zealand. His work focuses on field
recording, networked collaboration strategies, experiments in
improvisational sound and the use of free software such as Pd. He is
currently writing a beginner's manual for Pure
Data. http://www.umatic.nl/info_derek.html
Martin Howse operates within the fields of discourse, speculative
hardware (environmental data in open physical systems), code (an
examination of layers of abstraction), free software and the
situational (performances and interventions). http://1010.co.uk

---Oblique Strategy # 125:
"Only a part, not the whole"
Hi,
the Academy of Media Arts Cologne (famous for this year's Linux Audio
Conference) invites to its annual exhibition of student's works 16th
to 19th July. There will be several Pd works again, some of them in
the Klanglabor/Soundlab of the Academy, where Matthias Neuenhofer and
myself will show pieces for the "16:9" speaker wall of Rumori/Teige. I
cannot say much about Matthias' work, except that it's hauntingly
beautiful!
My piece is called "schusslig 1.7 beta" and consists of an unfinished
abstract 2D bullet hell shoot'em'up game (Psyvariar meets Pong)
written in Lua (the engine is ~500 lines of pure Lua, to be published
later), graphics projected with Gem and sonified with Pd (with some
game sounds courtesy of Obiwannabe) for you to survive.
More info on the open days:
