        MAKING SENSE PROJECT

        Recent developments in commercial and open source
        artistic software (like MAX/MSP, Nato, Jitter, SoftVNS,
        Pure-Data, Supercollider, Keystroke, Mob, etc.) extend
        the freedom for media-artists on the software side.
        These software environments also provide possibilities to
        interface physical computing devices via computerports.

        Within a series of workshops "Making Sense" aims to
        introduce basic and advanced techniques of how artists
        can work with sensors and effectors, how to build custom
        computer interfaces and how to interface them with
        different software environments.
