[PD-announce] xCoAx 2020 Call for papers, artworks, and performances
by David Pirrò 10 Oct '19

10 Oct '19

**xCoAx 2020: 8th International Conference on** **Computation, Communication, Aesthetics and X** 8-10 July 2020, Graz, Austria http://xcoax.org/ Please feel free to distribute this call to your networks. **Submission deadline: 31 January 2020** xCoAx is an exploration of the intersection where computational tools and media meet art and culture, in the form of a multi-disciplinary enquiry on aesthetics, computation, communication and the elusive X factor that connects them all. xCoAx has been an occasion for international audiences to meet and exchange ideas, in search for interdisciplinary synergies among computer scientists, artists, media practitioners, and theoreticians at the thresholds between digital arts and culture. Starting in 2013 in Bergamo, xCoAx has so far taken place also in Porto, Glasgow, Lisbon, Madrid, and Milan. The focus of xCoAx is on the unpredictable overlaps between the freedom of creativity and the rules of algorithms, between human nature and machine technology, with the aim to evolve towards new directions in aesthetics. In 2020 xCoAx will take place in Graz, Austria, directly adjoining the symposium **Algorithms that Matter (ALMAT)**. On the two days preceding xCoAx, ALMAT gathers artists and researchers to present and discuss the relations between algorithmic agency and artistic research, the practice of algorithmic experimentation and its impact on compositional process. ALMAT has issued a separate call for participation - https://almat.iem.at/symposium.html - and reduced combi-tickets will be available for xCoAx + ALMAT. **Topics** You are invited to submit theoretical, practical or experimental research work that includes but is not limited to the following topics: Computation, Communication, Aesthetics, X, Algorithms / Systems / Models, Artificial Aesthetics, Artificial Intelligence, Audiovisuals / Multimodality, Creativity, Design, Interaction, Games, Generative Art / Design, History, Mechatronics / Physical Computing, Music / Sound Art, Performance, Philosophy of Art / of Computation, Technology / Ethics / Epistemology. **Submission Categories** Papers, artworks, performances, ongoing doctoral research (all details for submission at http://xcoax.org/). For this edition of xCoAx, a special call for performances for MUMUTH's Ligeti Hall is also being launched. **Publications** All accepted works will be published in a proceedings book with ISBN (see http://proceedings.xcoax.org for previous editions) and the authors of the best papers will be invited to a special issue of the Scopus-indexed Journal of Science and Technology of the Arts (http://artes.ucp.pt/citarj/). **Keynote Speakers** Yuk Hui Špela Petrič **Doctoral Symposium Chairs** Marko Ciciliani **Organizing Committee** André Rangel: CITAR / i2ADS David Pirrò: Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics, University of Music and Performing Arts, Graz Hanns Holger Rutz: Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics, University of Music and Performing Arts, Graz Jason Reizner: Bauhaus-Universität Weimar Luís Nunes: i2ADS / Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Porto Luísa Ribas: CIEBA / Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Lisbon Mario Verdicchio: Università degli Studi di Bergamo Miguel Carvalhais: INESC TEC / Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Porto **Local Organizing Committee** David Pirrò: Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics, University of Music and Performing Arts, Graz Hanns Holger Rutz: Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics, University of Music and Performing Arts, Graz Daniele Pozzi: Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics, University of Music and Performing Arts, Graz **Contacts** info(a)xcoax.org http://xcoax.org https://twitter.com/xcoaxorg http://facebook.com/xcoax.org https://www.instagram.com/xcoaxorg/ _______________________________________________ Pd-announce mailing list Pd-announce(a)lists.iem.at https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-announce

[PD-announce] Algorithms that Matter Symposium 2020: Call for contributions
by David Pirrò 10 Oct '19

10 Oct '19

**ALMAT - Algorithms that Matter** **Symposium on Algorithmic Agency in Artistic Practice** 6--7 July 2020, Graz Austria https://almat.iem.at/symposium.html Please feel free to distribute this call to your networks. **Submission deadline: 31 January 2020** Artists and scientists have worked with digital computers for over seventy years, and algorithmic practices exist for a lot longer. But in recent years, increased computing power and decreased costs and miniaturisation of machines have created a new quantity and quality of everyday exposure, economic and political criticality, and with it a wave of public attention and discourse. As artists-researchers, how do we incorporate this new situation into our practices, and more importantly, how does this changed situation retroact on our understanding of the role of digital art, sound art and artistic practice itself? Rather than understanding algorithms as existing and transparent tools, the ALMAT Symposium is interested in their genealogical, processual aspects and their transformative potential. We seek critical approaches that avoid both mystification and commodification, that aim at opening the black box of "wonder" that is often presented to the public when utilising algorithms. The foundation for the symposium is given by the eponymous project ALMAT - Algorithms that Matter. ALMAT is an artistic research project by Hanns Holger Rutz and David Pirrò funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF AR 403-GBL) and hosted by the Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics (IEM) at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz. ALMAT 2020 will take place (06–07 July) adjoining the 8th Conference on Computation, Communication, Aesthetics & X – xCoAx (08–10 July). xCoAx is an exploration of the intersection where computational tools and media meet art and culture, in the form of a multi-disciplinary enquiry on aesthetics, computation, communication and the elusive X factor that connects them all. xCoAx has issued a separate call for participation – http://www.xcoax.org – and reduced combi-tickets are available for xCoAx + ALMAT. **Call for Contributions** The ALMAT Symposium calls for artistic research contributions in the following two categories: 1. Contributions exploring the symposium's theme and the questions arising from it. This may include: - What are the material qualities specific of algorithms and algorithmic practices? How does the algorithmic become malleable as material? - Are there particular affordances of the algorithmic? - How does algorithmic agency unfold, how can it be observed, formulated, or communicated? Which alternatives to traditional concepts such as control/controller could be formulated? - How does the reconfigurative "intrinsic" or "speculative" movement of algorithms extend to or retroact on the artist or recipient, how does it shape their interactions? - How can artistic experimentation with algorithms be communicated to an audience, how may it help sensitise and empower people to take ownership of the algorithmic? - Which are the thresholds of heteronomy/autonomy, what makes an algorithmic practice become generative? - What are philosophical, technological, aesthetic or artistic consequences of acknowledging the agency of algorithms? 2. Contributions that explicitly refer to the research, the experiences and the case studies of the ALMAT research project. Contributions may be commentary, continuation, critique or, more in general, a response to one or more aesthetic and theoretic manifestations and artefacts reflected in the project's documentation. The project's (ongoing) documentation is an online hypertext starting at the Continuous Exposition: https://www.researchcatalogue.net/view/381565/381566. In particular, we identified a number of works that are good candidates for responses, as they will be visible or audible during the symposium (see submission page). For more information and details of contribution formats and application process, please refer to: https://www.researchcatalogue.net/view/381565/698006 Contact: For any questions, please write to <almat(a)iem.at>. _______________________________________________ Pd-announce mailing list Pd-announce(a)lists.iem.at https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-announce

In my modified version of hidio (see https://github.com/jyg/PdMultitouch/blob/master/hidio/hidio_linux.c) I changed the code inside *void****hidio_devices**(t_hidio *x)* so that when you send the message [devices( , you get the devices list on the second outlet of hidio. This has to be implemented in the hidio_darwin.c file so that it will be consistent between 2 OSs

Sorry! My mistake. I was thinking of [MouseState] which I am akready using and which is working fine. The [mouse] abstraction is obviously not working here at all as it uses [open mouse(. I suppose I'll have to find the source code of [hid] somewhere since it does show me the numbers - just unfurtunately not in any other way than in the Pd window.

[hid] (Debian 9.5) - How to find out the device numbers?
by Ingo 08 Oct '19

08 Oct '19

Does anybody know how to list the Device Numbers without opening the console? I need to connect a mouse with varying hardware. However, "open by device type" does not work. "Open by vendor / product ID" does not seem to work either. Maybe it's because only the receiver of my wireless mouse shows up or it simply doesn't work anyway. Connecting with [open 9( works fine but if the number has changed it won't open automatically anymore. When sending [print( to [hid] I can see the device numbers but only in the pd window. It does not appear on any of the two outlets. Is there a shell command that will give me the listing? I searched the internet but didn't find anything so far. Thanks! Ingo

You should have a look at hidio object.

Hi Peter, I recompiled it for linux 64 here https://github.com/jyg/PdMultitouch/tree/master/hidio (with some bug fix for absolute hid devices such as multitouch screens, see issue https://github.com/Benitoite/hidio/issues/1 ) Unfortunately, I don't think it is compiled anywhere for Windows.

macOS 10.15 Catalina
by Dan Wilcox 08 Oct '19

08 Oct '19

Howdy all, For those of you using macOS, the newest version is now out: 10.15 "Catalina." Something to be aware of: 10.15 is 64-bit only, 32 bit applications will *no longer run.* If you rely on 32-bit externals or still use Pd-extended, these will no longer run. Basically, anything that launched with a warning about "This application is not optimized..." etc on 10.14 most likely will not run on 10.15. Pd 64-bit builds should be fine and externals that are compiled for 64 bit and/or as "fat libs" which included 64-bit should be fine. Recent versions of Pd should have a 64-bit GUI. Also, macOS now has a "Notarization" requirement. I'm not sure exactly how that works yet, but there may be some sort of pop-up warning about this. We have until January to figure it out. Anyone who has the new OS, please test Pd 0.50 and let us know if all is well. -------- Dan Wilcox @danomatika <http://twitter.com/danomatika> danomatika.com <http://danomatika.com/> robotcowboy.com <http://robotcowboy.com/>

declare not posting library loading message while object creation does?
by Peter P. 07 Oct '19

07 Oct '19

Dear list, I am a big fan of the [declare] object for loading libraries but its user interaction keeps puzzling me. Creation of [declare -lib hid] does neither post a success or failure message to the console, but the creation of a [hid] object itself prints the usual [hid] 0.7, written by Hans-Christoph Steiner <hans(a)eds.org> compiled on Aug 8 2013 at 07:27:37 Seems like the above declare object has no function... Note that this is a single-file library, eg hid.pd_linux. Thanks for all ideas! P
