For decades the attempt to do spatialization has been focused on a “virtual sound source” being moved around the space. The result we recognize as an audience is almost only “circles” as movements, even if the virtual sound source is doing much more complex moves – unless you are in the sweet spot of a given speaker setup. In this workshop we will learn various spatialization concepts using the Max/MSP programming environment, then learning different approaches to look beyond “sweet spot” concepts. Participants receive lab time out side of the class to experiment in Harvestworks 8-channel TEAMLab. Continue reading

Let’s turn photographs into music, use our motion to generate images, and turn the songs of Taylor Swift into three-dimensional animated landscapes. Welcome to the world of Digital Synesthesia: the experience of mixing up your senses so that you hear what your eyes see, and see what your ears are listening to. Continue reading

Javascript is one of the only programming languages where relative novices can have their code running on billions of devices in a matter of moments. This workshop focuses on getting students creating applications with Javascript and uploading them to the internet right away. Once students have a familiarity with the mechanics of the language, we will start building javascript-based web pages and uploading them to the internet using using github as a web-server. We will move onto making these applications interact with the mouse using jQuery and have graphical output using HTML5 Canvas. Continue reading

This workshop will investigate the relationship between sound, touch, movement and technology. The participants will engage various wireless technologies in creating short interactive performance projects. The particular focus will be given to the investigation of sound-action pairs and the role of touch in their formation. The workshop will culminate into the project presentations and feedback discussion. Continue reading
