"synaesthesia happy hour" is a 2 days workshop that will introduce you to data mapping and basic synaesthetic tricks to get you started making real-time audiovisual experiments based on incoming data taken from various sources. In this crash course we will focus on how a single source of information (for example data from a sensor, or a log file) can be used to both generate sounds and visual. After the workshop you will never see numbers the same! (your mileage may vary)

The workshop is targeted to beginners only, for artists and students who are curious about data mapping and want to get introduced to Pure Data (http://puredata.info/). We will run the software from the pure:dyne GNU/Linux distribution (http://puredyne.goto10.org).
