part of project: Hobilabor
presented by Hobilabor

This two day intensive workshop is intended for people who want to learn how to work with Pure Data (PD), an open source visual programming environment developed mainly for creating interactive sound and music.

During the first day of the workshop, the participants will learn the basics of Pure Data and techniques for creating and manipulating audio. Other topics to cover will be decided based on the interests of the participants. These topics may include: Working with Arduino and Pure Data, Using GEM to create and manipulate graphics and video, OSC communication etc.

On the second day of the workshop, the participants will work on their own Pure Data projects. Create your own synthesizer, or work on that interactive audio installation you have always wanted to make!
