"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).

for everyone is possible with the support of the Creative Partnerships
