Pure Data Convention 2011 – A festival of programmed music and art
The Pure Data convention is an event where users and developers of the open-source programming environment Pure Data meet, discuss and present their research and artworks. It consists of
- A Conference program with peer-reviewed paper presentations
- Workshops for in-depth instructions from professionals aimed at interested beginners, ambitioned users and specialists.
- Concerts and Performances with music made with Pure Data
- An Exhibition of artworks and installations
Preliminary Schedule
Previous conventions have been in Graz (2004), Montréal (2007) and São Paulo (2009). The upcoming convention will be the fourth installment of this venue.
Where and when
The convention will take place in Weimar, Germany from August 8th to 12th and continue in Berlin the 13th and 14th. More than 140 participants from 26 countries have registered to join us for this convention. The close collaboration between Bauhaus-University and Music Academy Franz Liszt where computer science, music, media-arts and media-culture meet creates the perfect environment. Weimar is a small city with 65.000 inhabitants but many venues and places of interest. It is small enough not to get lost or to loose much time in transportation from one place to another.
Registration
We asked to register early to be able to plan space and accomodation in time. A late registration fee of 40,- Euros applies since June 24th.
Accomodation
We have reserved beds & breakfast for those who booked it through the registration form at the Youthhostel “Am Poseckschen Garten” with a discount. For the group booking no international Youthhostel Membership is required. It is very close to the campus. Please make sure you have registered (this includes workshop instructors, performers, speakers...). If you don't want to share your room with other people we recommend you book yourself as soon as possible. See Weimar/Accommodation for a list of Hotels/Hostels.
