=== ''"Ich bin ein Objekt"'': Learning Pure Data as a Language Taught by Derek Holzer === | |||
Pure Data (or Pd) is a real-time graphical programming environment for | |||
audio, video, and graphical processing. Because all of these types of | |||
media are handled as data in the program, many fascinating | |||
opportunities for cross-synthesis between them exist. Pd is commonly | |||
used for live music performance, VeeJaying, sound effects composition, | |||
interfacing with sensors, cameras and robots or even interacting with | |||
websites. | |||
This introductory workshop is ideal for new users of Pure Data who are | |||
finding the "vocabulary" and "grammar" difficult to grasp. We will | |||
learn Pure Data as one would learn any other language, taking a series | |||
of very basic examples from the Pure Data FLOSS Manual. This workshop | |||
gives a good starting point for more advanced Pd workshops, or | |||
participation in the Berlin Pure Data Conference. | |||
The basic text for the Pure Data workshops is the Pure Data FLOSS | |||
Manual. Participation is limited to 12 participants. The workshop will | |||
be taught in English ;-) | |||
