This workshop will give artists the chance to realize a multi-media artwork wile learning theoretical and practical knowledge of the multiple components in a multi-media work: sound, video, interactivity, Internet, programming software (MAX/MSP Jitter) and physical programming (electronic circuit, ARDUINO micro-controller).
* Dates: Sunday afternoons from 1:00 – 4:00 PM
Session 1: from November 15th – December 20th, 2009, and from January 10th to January 31th
Session 2: from February 7th to April 11th, 2010
* Cost: $225 per session (includes GST + TVQ)
Instructor and media artist Patrice Coulombe will guide participants through the process of learning the software. Emphasis will be on the essential techniques and notions of MAX/MSP and participants will learn and master elements including: sound options, video manipulation, and physical interactivity. Any formatting or practical creative questions that arise during the workshops will be discussed. Artists will have free time access in the laboratory to fully develop the media components of their works. By the end of the workshop, artists will have mastered the necessary tools and skills to fully develop all the media components of their work.
* Format: Courses have a supervised workshop component. 2 sessions of 10 classes are offered. The first session will focus on learning MAX/MSP and Jitter through projects that implement sound and video. The second session will primarily focus on learning programming and concentrate on the technical aspects (sensors and electronic circuits) at an intermediate level of MAX/MSP.
* Prerequisite: A basic knowledge of computers and multimedia applications is recommended. Programming experience is an advantage. Participants should have a simple project they will work on during the workshop.
