[PD-announce] Open Call for Exhibition Projects at Piksel Studio 207
by 220hex 17 Feb '18

17 Feb '18

sorry for x-posting --- Briefly about Piksel and Piksel Studio Piksel is a network of artists and an annual media art festival based in Bergen(NO), which focuses on the relationship between art and free technologies, arranged for the first time in 2003. Piksel Studio 207 is Piksel’s new project in Bergen. Piksel Studio 207 is established in a 130 m2 room where we will create an annual program for artists, children and young people, cultural institutions and the general public. CALL FOR PROJECTS In 2018, Piksel Studio plans to make up to 5 exhibitions selected from this open call. Each exhibition will take a maximun of a month, one week to setup and 3 weeks to exhibit. Formats are open and further discussions can be taken. Piksel Studio is currently seeking for artists, curators and organizations to use the space as an exhibition space, workshop room or performative space. The projects can be of any format that fits the space. The works must be realized by the use of free and open source technologies. We specially encourage projects in the field of DIY Bioart, renewable/sustainable technologies, DIY and open hardware, audiovisual software tools or software art released under a free/open license. (Also includes presentations of artistic projects realized using free/open technologies.) Piksel offers the space, the communication skills, the technical production equipment and support within the actual resources. The selected projects must provide their own fundings in case extra production costs are needed (travel, accommodation, per diems etc.). Piksel can assist to seek for external fundings in specific projects. The selection will be done in a first come first served process. We will be selecting projects as they come and the call is open till 1st of October. To submit a project please send an email to piksel18(a)piksel.no with the subject Piksel Studio Exhibition. The email should include the name of the project, description, bio and cv of the people involved, technical needs and fundings possibilities. more info: www.piksel.no _______________________________________________ Pd-announce mailing list Pd-announce(a)lists.iem.at https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-announce

snap to grid feature when editing
by Roman Haefeli 17 Feb '18

17 Feb '18

Hey all I just realized that I almost always hold the shift key down when moving objects around with arrow keys in order to emulate a 10-px grid. Considering my editing style, a snap-to-grid feature would make my patching life a lot easier. It would help me align objects vertically with the mouse whereas now I often rather drag over the object in order to align it with keys, because doing it with the mouse on a 1-px-grid is too finicky (for me at least). Before I submit a feature request, I'd like to get a feeling if such a feature only suits my style or if it would be for the benefit of all. Roman

suggestion for [list store]: disable convertion from anything to list in first inlet.
by Christof Ressi 16 Feb '18

16 Feb '18

The last posts on the list have been about [list store] and I just realized that the object does automatic conversion from anything to list. IMHO, it's not a good idea to mix messages like [append(, [prepend( etc. with anythings. This can lead to weird bugs (like in the serializer example in list-help.pd) since spelling errors/wrong methods are not caught and instead promoted to list messages. The more serious issue, however, is that it will be problematic to add new methods for [list store] in the future because some patches might already use the new selector in anything messages. Since I think that [list store] will profit a lot from more methods (and I want to make a WIP pull request in the near future), it might be a good idea to disable the automatic conversion now and only allow explicit list messages. this *might* break existing patches, but you get explicit error messages and it's easy to fix by putting a [list] object. I think it's worth to break compatibility now to save troubles and open up possibilities for the future. Christof

HOAlib in 0.48-1 not working/recognized
by jlistshit 16 Feb '18

16 Feb '18

Hello everyone, i only switched from 0.47-1 to 0.48-1 yesterday (on OSX 10.9.5) and can not seem to make HOAlib and Cream running. Is there anything substantial to path recognition or file registering, which might have changed in the meantime? Hoalib is v 2.2 including the cream lib, that came with the install, and plus the recommended v2.2 additional patches installed as well. Objects inserted in patch appear to dashed, although Pd window states success messages such as "/Library/Pd/Cream/Cream.pd_darwin and succeeded” etc. In 0.47.1 this install worked with bith the 32 and 64 bit version, is there an issue now with 0.48-1. Thanx for any pointers to solution! jayrope - - - www.jayrope.com www.aircushionfinish.com www.ello.co/jayrope

Installing PDP on Linux using Deken
by Jim Ruxton 16 Feb '18

16 Feb '18

I tried installing PDP on Ubuntu 17.10 using Deken. The installation seemed to work well and put the external in the same folder as all the other externals I have installed. However when I try building a patch with a pdp object I get the message that the object couldn't be created. Any thoughts what may be up with this external and why it won't load properly for me. My path points to it so it isn't that. Thanks, Jim

[PD-announce] CALL - Reminder + Extended Deadline - Thresholds of the Algorithmic - ALMAT @ BEK
by IOhannes m zmoelnig 15 Feb '18

15 Feb '18

Call for Applications: Workshop-in-Exposition: Thresholds of the Algorithmic Bergen (NO), June 2018. **Reminder and extended deadline: 23 February 2018** (sorry for x-posting -- please distribute) Algorithms have been used in music and sound art even before the emergence of “computer music” in the 1950s, but today we witness an entire new wave of interest, reflected in festivals, genres, publications and research projects. It is the very notion of algorithms that is shifting. They are no longer an abstract formalisation, but emerge from artistic praxis and experimentation and become entangled in it. Almat and BEK are happy to announce a call for participation in a workshop-in-exposition taking place in Bergen, Norway, June 2018. This will be a part of BEK and Notam’s ongoing series of workshops for advanced users. It is a hybrid format that places the workshop inside an exhibition context, where the exposed works and artefacts form the basis of the workshop’s activity. Instead of “closed works”, what is exposed to the general public are objects, sounds or installations that are open to engagement and reconfiguration during the workshop. Algorithms that Matter (Almat) is an artistic research project funded by the Austrian Science Fund FWF, PEEK AR 403-GBL, and based at the Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics (IEM) in Graz, Austria. BEK and Notam are centers for innovation and use of technology in music and the arts in Norway. Both Notam and BEK have a strong focus on education, and strive to establish new goals and provide new impulses for current music technologists and artists. - https://almat.iem.at - http://www.bek.no - http://www.notam02.no - Full text of the call: https://almat.iem.at/assets/downloads/almat-bek_call2018.pdf - Application form: https://almat.iem.at/assets/downloads/almat-bek_form2018.pdf ## Theme and Format Thresholds are locations of transitions, points where one modality becomes another, where a qualitative change occurs. In physics the point where an aggregate state changes—the phase transition—is a distinguished transitional location were the properties of the adjacent states become evident. Similarly, in this workshop-in-exposition we want to study the properties of the algorithmic by putting ourselves in threshold positions and actively shape them. More than merely separating two sides, one can spend time on a threshold, move along a ridge, performing a tightrope walk while trying not to fall to either side. Situated within the Almat artistic research project, this event aims at bringing together practitioners and researchers in the field of digital art, sound art and computational aesthetics. The hybrid format of workshop-in-exposition puts on display works of the participants pertaining to the theme, and at the same time avails them for interrogation, discussion and reconfiguration during the week long workshop. The full call embeds a list of three different ‘thresholds’ from which the applicants should point out a specific one, that they recognise as being addressed by their own artistic work. This will act both as a point for further exploration during the workshop and as a bridge towards audience perception. ## Application Please read carefully the call and fill out the form provided at https://almat.iem.at/call2018.html and send it to almat(a)iem.at along with the required accompanying documents. We aim at a balance of gender and background of the applicants. Conditions: - Duration of exhibition: from 08 June to 17 June 2018 - Start date (in situ): 04 June 2018 (preparation and set up from 04 June to 08 June 2018) - End date: 17 June 2018 - Applicants must be present during the workshop. - Workshop fee must be paid by confirmed participants (see form) **Application deadline: 23 February 2018** (e-mail reception, 24:00 CET) If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at almat(a)iem.at. --- iem.at | kug.ac.at | bek.no | notam02.no | fwf.ac.at _______________________________________________ Pd-announce mailing list Pd-announce(a)lists.iem.at https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-announce

Re: [PD] Save Pd console as pdwindow.txt
by Dan Wilcox 14 Feb '18

14 Feb '18

It's based on which window is active. If a canvas is active, it saves a patch. If the Pd window is active, it saves the console. > On Feb 13, 2018, at 11:51 AM, pd-list-request(a)lists.iem.at wrote: > > From: "Peter P." <peterparker(a)fastmail.com <mailto:peterparker@fastmail.com>> > To: pd-list <pd-list(a)iem.at <mailto:pd-list@iem.at>> > Subject: [PD] Save Pd console as pdwindow.txt > Message-ID: <20180213080428.omso3xu5wrkajgv7(a)fastmail.com <mailto:20180213080428.omso3xu5wrkajgv7@fastmail.com>> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii > > Hi, > > it maybe that this is a new feature or not, but I only discovered today > that it is possible to save the Pd console as textfile by selecting > "Save as..." from its File menu. > Since I was initially trying to save my patch as .pd file, it could be > useful to distinguish the "Save as ..." for the Pd window as "Save Pd > window as ..." perhaps. -------- Dan Wilcox @danomatika <http://twitter.com/danomatika> danomatika.com <http://danomatika.com/> robotcowboy.com <http://robotcowboy.com/>
