Hi
Felt that this might be of interest to the list ....

I have just discovered that there are a few places left on these two workshops (makes a good 2 day grounding in the field).  They will be run at FACT, Liverpool UK at the start of February.  Though the blurb says Director (!) and MAX/MSP (!!) there is the opportunity or individuals to explore other software such as SuperCollider, PD, P5 or even Flash.

Please feel free to contact me directly about content enquiries, otherwise book a place via the email below.

BEYOND THE MOUSE INTRODUCTION TO INTERACTIVE SYSTEMS  
01 FEBRUARY 2007  |  TUTOR: STEVE SYMONS 
Many artists have found that the only way to construct the interactive environments they 
need is to work with sophisticated programming tools such as MAX/MSP and to build 
control devices directly into programmable integrated circuits. This session aims to 
support an understanding of these fairly esoteric tools and to demonstrate the devices and  
processes that have been used by others. The workshop will be based around hands on 
demonstrations of a range of systems (physical interfaces and video sensing devices) and 
the technical overview required to build them. 
1 DAY 10.30-5PM, COST £35/£105 + VAT 

BEYOND THE MOUSE MAKING ALTERNATIVE INTERFACES   
02 FEBRUARY 2007  |  TUTOR: STEVE SYMONS 
This one-day practical workshop will focus on the electronics (and coding) required to 
turn objects and small spaces into interactive systems. 
It is aimed at the practitioner/trainer with working knowledge of Director or MAX/MSP 
and an awareness of the possibilities of alternative interface systems. Participants should 
bring a small number of short Quicktime Movies or sounds with them on a CDROM.
