[PD-announce] Pure Data Intro Workshop, 15-16th July, Electron Club, Glasgow

[Marco Donnarumma]

__PURE DATA WORKSHOP__

Thursday 15th and Friday 16th July 2010, 3pm-7pm

Electron Club
CCA – Centre for Contemporary Arts, 350 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow G2 3JD



Electron Club presents an introduction to Pure Data, a real-time graphical
programming environment for audio, video, and graphical processing.

Pure Data is the third major branch of the family of patcher programming
languages known as Max originally developed by Miller Puckette and company
at IRCAM. Pd is free multi-platform software.

This two day workshop will bring participants through the basic idioms of
dataflow, real-time audio and visual processing and networking. It is lead
by Edinburgh based new media artists Marco Donnarumma and Ioann Maria.


What:

Participants will learn how to communicate with Pd and surf through the
audio and visual processing objects libraries. Together we'll build basic
processing audio and video structures and discover tricks and tips to create
our own performance tool.

No previous programming experience is needed.
