This three-week course will introduce the use of techniques in computer vision for creating interactive artworks and applications.. By using sophisticated algorithms which surreptitiously analyze video and camera streams to identify and track people, faces, moving bodies, and colors, we can add a playful–or slightly sinister–dose of interactivity to our work.

This series of workshops is intended to people having already a practice of the sound writing and sound recording. It is conceived to give methodological bases concerning sound recording, sound sampling, editing and mixing to carry out sound creations documentary or more musical forms, radio drama, hörspiel or electroacoustic pieces. At the end of the session, the participants acquired a work method which they will be then able to use within the daily framework of their sound activity. Continue reading
I Tremble With Anticipation is a poetic experimental film made from a database of over 500 subtitled still images of foreign language movies.. The work features meticulously selected frames that are orchestrated into a narrative, juxtaposing gesture, light and setting, creating a new dialog across films.. Instead of “moving images” the piece is moving sounds across the three-dimensional listening field with an immersive 5.1 soundtrack written by the filmmaker. Continue reading

STILL A FEW SEATS LEFT! This 4-week ONLINE class will introduce students to generative art, an artistic philosophy and methodology for creating artworks using algorithms and procedural processes inspired from nature, statistics, biology, and computer science. Continue reading
Art Jones’ Hypercartogram is a sound installation with 3D projected video. It is a multichannel, interactive audio map of several cities, punctuated by live action and animated video projected onto a sculptural collage of urban spaces. Continue reading
Unconquered Earth is an interactive installation, in which observers personally experience the seismic destruction our planet is capable of. This installation displays the earth’s most destructive as well as current earthquakes, using an interactive globe, visualized data, and an audio-visual experience which responds to the destruction. It serves as a dialogue between human and nature—the constant struggle against a force beyond our control. Continue reading
WE USUALLY KEEP REGISTRATION OPEN FOR A FEW DAYS. This 3-week ONLINE COURSE is a hands-on introduction to algorithmic art. Using openframeworks, participants will learn how to create form, color, texture, and movement with mathematical functions and algorithms. But far from a math class, participants will be invited to experience functions as different brush strokes on a canvas, and algorithms as different creative processes, each evoking a different feeling. Continue reading
“Three Rooms In The Memory Palace”, composed by Andrea Parkins, is a 3-part electroacoustic work, combining audio installation with live performance, and reflecting the artist’s ongoing exploration of poetic interrelationships between physical/acoustical spaces, objects, gesture and memory. Harvestworks presents ” Three Rooms…, Part 1,” an 8-channel site- determined installation, diffused through adjacent acoustical spaces that sonically respond in real-time interaction.
