The physical world is slowly finding itself deeply interwoven with the digital universe. Human-computer interaction design is accelerating, sensors are being placed almost everywhere, and artists are now better able to combine the real world with their digital creations using the Arduino microcontroller and Processing programming language. THIS CLASS IS SOLD OUT Continue reading
Built on Java, Processing makes learning traditional programming easier by having many built-in functions. Processing is different from a graphical language like Max because you have to write it line by line. Once you understand how to look at all those funny words and symbols without crying, it becomes easier to control, and thats exactly what this class is for. THIS CLASS IS SOLD OUT. Continue reading
Make Max make music for you! Make Max make music like you! Make Max make music without you! Do the beginnings of your performances always start with you predictably building layers? Get the party kicking *immediately* with Markov chains! Are you sick of making music with static loops that never ever ever ever ever change? Not with Markov chains. Max/MSP is the perfect place to go for composing algorithmic music. This class will get students knee deep in this subject by using a simple patch that will act as the core for every program in the course. Continue reading
ONLINE CLASS: Let’s turn photographs in music, bring our favorite songs into Photoshop and mess with them, and turn Call Me Maybe into a moving three-dimensional landscape. This class is all about 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. In collaboration with Tenlegs, a network for artists to connect, collaborate, earn and learn, Harvestworks offers this class as part of it’s new online TEAMLab class program. Continue reading
Are you a musician looking for some new tricks? How about being able to trigger a drum loop with a wave of your hand? Or getting your DJ set to play a slow jam — but only when the computer senses that people are needing a breather on the dance… Continue reading
Come and spend some time diving into the powerful world of Max for Live. This is a hands-on workshop; by the end of the class you will have built your own audio effects, incorporated video processing into a Live set, and built unique controls using the camera, the Kinect, and… Continue reading
Get ready to learn how to make your very own performance interface using Arduino and Max/MSP/Jitter. This class focuses on the experience of designing, building, and programming a custom performance or production interface for the electronic musician or video artist. We will learn how to work with environmental sensors to… Continue reading
