Projection Mapping is a technique for manipulating video to create illusions of deconstruction and redefinition of physical shapes, by moving away from traditional flat projection surfaces. This workshop serves as a comprehensive introduction to methods for creating projection mapping for beginners. Students will learn how to make animation using Modul8, and how to map the three-dimensional surface using Madmapper. Continue reading
This class presents a brief introduction to writing code in c++, followed by an immersion into using OpenFrameworks. From getting setup to working with audio, video, graphics, text, and images. Continue reading
Partnering with this year’s LiSA conference (Leaders in Software and Art) , we will offer this workshop that focuses on Max/MSP Jitter’s OpenGL framework to create compelling interactive visuals in 3D. We will also be using Blender (a free and open source 3D modeling software) to create our own basic models to import and work with in Jitter. Participants will leave the 8 hour workshop with a trove of reusable code and resources to begin writing their own 3D Video software or Interactive Visual Environments. Continue reading
ERS is an open collaborative research project, which investigates hidden physical processes occurring permanently in our everyday environment saturated by electromagnetic waves, especially ionic radiation. The project investigates the effect of radiation on living organisms that is connected with the influence of this radiation on living cells. ERS is a workshop of sound-visual techniques and practical series of experiments, which consist in detection, amplification, sonic and visual analysis of hidden physical fields – Participants do not need any previous experience with Supercollider i Pure Data (or Max/MSP). Good advanced techniques are very easy. Continue reading
Harvestworks announces its three-tier Processing ONLINE Intensive for the Fall/Winter Semester. Over a span of 13 weeks, join the tens of thousands who use the open source Processing language to create their own visual arts, and immerse yourself in our Visual Instruments / VJing (Oct-Nov), Computer Vision (Dec) and Generative Art (Jan/Feb) courses. These classes are held online, means that anyone – and in any timezone – can take it and make it work with their schedule. There are no mandatory days to be available, as long as you are able to keep up with the new material each week. Continue reading
Explore the world of interactive performance and production via Arduino and Max/MSP. We will learn the basics of programming and wiring Arduino, then work with environmental sensors to communicate control data to synthesis and processing instruments within Max/MSP. Continue reading
Over 100 artists have participated in Harvestworks’ Certificate and Independent Study Program, that offers year-round individualized, in-depth teaching and programming services. Participants receive one-on-one sessions tailored specifically to their needs and artistic goals, and take part in classes that fit their individual curriculum. For a limited time in June, we… 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 science. Applications covered will include generative graphics, data visualization, 3D design and fabrication, and interactivity using peripherals like the Kinect. The class will be taught in Processing but the concepts are applicable to other languages and tools. Continue reading
In this workshop, fluxus influenced German composer Hans Schüttler will create a live radio drama based on experimental poet Ernst Jandl’s sound poem “Eating”. Up to 12 participants will create an evening length piece using kitchen devices, food items, musical instruments, and more. The participants and listeners witness a live radio drama, in which voice, sounds, noise and music equally have a role in the creation. Continue reading
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
