The 'Rencontres Internationales' offer more than a simple presentation
of the works. They introduce an intercultural forum gathering various
guests from all over the world - artists and filmmakers, institutions
and emerging organisations - to testify of the vivacity of creation and
its distribution, but also of the artistic and cultural contexts that
often are experiencing deep changes. The festival reflects specificities
and crossings of art practices between new cinema and contemporary art,
explores media art practices and their critical purposes, and work out
this necessary time when points of view meet and are exchanged.
The festival aims at presenting those works to a broad audience, at
creating circulations between different art practices and between
different audiences, as well as creating new exchanges between artists,
filmmakers and professionals. The 'Rencontres Internationales
Paris/Berlin/Madrid', an event without competition, are supported by
French, German, Spanish and international cultural institutions.

organizations, art networks, production companies, artists and
filmmakers you are in contact with.
Best wishes.

Linux Audio Conference 2008
Lectures / Demos / Workshops / Concerts / Linux Soundnight
Köln/Cologne, 28.2.-2.3.2008
The 6th Linux Audio Conference is taking place in Cologne (Germany) Feb 28th to
March 2nd 2008.
The Academy of Media Arts[1], Cologne, is proud to host the Linux Audio Conference
2008[2], where once a year programmers and artists, musicians, composers and
practioneers gather to discuss and explore new and important developments in
making music and sounds with Linux and Open Source software.
The Linux Audio Conference is both a meeting of developers writing audio
software for Linux as it is a music festival, where artists from all over the
world show how free software can create fresh and exciting new sounds.
A wide range of workshops, talks and presentations will once again prove, how
Tux, the friendly penguin, spreads its little wings into areas, that no longer
are the realm for the big fish alone - like computer music, sound engineering
and audio distribution. The LAC aims at bringing together developers and users
of Linux and open source audio software with the goal of information sharing,
project discussions, making (and dancing to) music.
Each day of the conference there will be a concert which features music
composed and created with open source software.
Stay tuned for the various calls for Papers, Music and Workshops bound to
appear on the new LAC website - http://lac.linuxaudio.org - right after the
summer break.
The team of LAC2008 is working hard to make the LAC Cologne again a successful
and most of all fun event for all visitors and participants. If you have
further questions, want to cooperate with us or just cannot wait anymore, you
can always contact us by email: lac(a)linuxaudio.org
Hear you in 2008!

Hi,
advert break: The (leading) german computer magazine c't [1] has a
6-page Pd tutorial in its 17/07 issue (in stores Aug 6), written by
yours truly.
It's a basic introduction geared towards absolute beginners. But I've
managed to smuggle (at least) two small mistakes into the example
patches[2] that advanced users can search for. ;)

Enabling the Spirit of Play in Musical Instrument Building
Notice: hosted by Richard Waldinger
Date: Thursday August 02, 2007 at 16:00
Location: EJ291 (SRI E building) (Directions)
Abstract
More and more performers are using computer-based instruments for
live performance, using software that allows complex control and
interaction with sound and visual media in real time. All too
frequently, these performers tie themselves to the keyboard-mouse-
monitor interaction model, narrowly constraining the range of
possible gestures. A multitude of gestural input devices are readily
available, making it easy to utilize a broader range of gestures.
Human Interface Devices (HIDs) such as joysticks, tablets, and
gamepads are cheap and can be good musical controllers. Some even
provide haptic feedback. Now, the biggest hinderance for performers
wanting to create their own instruments is the usability of the
software. To enable the creation of computer-based instruments, we
are developing software that allows instruments to be built in the
same spirit of play that many people apply when learning a
traditional musical instrument.
This work is in collaboration with Cyrille Henry, Olaf Matthes, and
David Merrill.
Note for Visitors to SRI

escorted to the conference room. SRI is located at 333 Ravenswood
Avenue in Menlo Park. Visitors may park in the visitors lot in front

to be escorted to the meeting room. Detailed directions to SRI, as
well as maps, are available from the Visiting AIC web page.
