Learn to create effects and interactive visuals using Max 6. Are you a VJ wanting more interplay between your work and the music? Have you been looking for ways to analysis music and audio? Have you been wanting to design that cool sound installation? This class will use Max 6’s… Continue reading
Harvestworks has taught Max for over 20 years. Many of our clients just need a basic introduction to get started, and then like to focus on special needs pertaining to their project by taking our specialized classes or individual tutorials. We therefore decided to offer this 6hr introductory course for… Continue reading
In this class we will explore the infamous Kinect sensor using the Processing language. Students will learn to use the Kinect’s unique depth data to create physically compelling interactive work. Using the SimpleOpenNI Processing library, we will cover the basics of the Kinect’s RGB and depth information, point clouds, and… Continue reading
This evening will be to explore and discuss various live sound processing strategies through performance, lecture and presentation, and gives participants a foundation for developing their own work. The lecture/presentation will be taught by Dafna Naphtali, who uses live sound processing in her work since 1995, and will start with… Continue reading
This 8-week class will introduce students to the wide world of generative art, starting with building blocks and theory and moving towards advanced topics over the course of the summer. Students will acquire methods for creating compelling artworks using algorithms and autonomous processes inspired from nature, statistics, biology, and computer… Continue reading
TRANSART INSTITUTE in partnership with Harvestworks is offering up to one semester of advanced standing to you if you completed the Harvestworks Certificate Program and wish to embark on their MFA in Fine Art and New Media. The Harvestworks Certificate programs have been developed in order to provide a more… Continue reading
The FTM&Co extensions for Max/MSP make it possible to program prototype applications that work with sound, music or gesture data in both time and frequency domain in a more complex and flexible way than what we know from other tools. This workshop will provide an introduction to the free Ircam… Continue reading
THIS CLASS IS SOLD OUT! The workshop offers an hands-on experience and both theoretical and practical training in gestural control of music and live video, deploying the Xth Sense (XS), a brand-new, biophysical, free and open technology. The XS was recently awarded the first prize in the Margaret Guthman Musical… Continue reading
Creating a dialog between person and artwork, user and computer, can be difficult, and what better way to dive into interactivity than through designing interactive mirrors. This class will utilize techniques found within Jitter to create user generated visual experiences with both traditional cameras and the Kinect. Topics covered will… Continue reading
The Power of Arduino + Processing is amazing, you can use all different kinds of variable resistor sensors to bring in data to processing, and then use it to trigger your visual representations. In this class, we’ll be learning the basics of using (and creating) sensors in your programs All… Continue reading
