STUDIO XX PROGRAMMING PRODUCTION ARTWORKS

 

 


Professional Development Workshops



Call for submission :

Media space – MAX/MSP/Jitter & microcontroller workshop

- Training on the audio, visual and interactive components of multi-media production.

Studio XX requests proposals for interactive audio and/or video projects to be produced within the framework of two professional development workshops intended for female artists.

Proposals for the first session should be straightforward and possible to realize in the context of the beginners’ workshop starting October 2006.

Please send your proposals and CV to
ateliers@studioxx.org

A request for proposals will be made in November 2006 for the advanced workshop beginning January 2007.


Workshop 1 (October 2006): Beginners

The general aim of the workshop is for female artists to learn about the various audio, visual and interactive components of multimedia production by creating a digital work using MAX software. Using MAX is essential in terms of understanding the technical language and manipulating the basic audio, video and interactive tools used in digital creation.

Workshop 2 (January 2007): Advanced

A practical Max workshop where participants will learn how (Basic Stamp and Arduino) microcontrollers work and how to construct small electronic circuits to carry out programmed functions. The workshop will enable the artists to master the tools necessary to fully realize all aspects of multimedia projects.

Contents: Workshop 2

_Interactivity
Interface-user, motion tracking, sound tracking, sensors, MIDI protocol and OSC, computer networks, and Internet.

_Circuits
Basic Stamp, electronic components, reading graphs, constructing sensors, motor control circuits.

The submissions deadline for the second workshop will be announced in November 2006.

These two workshops are designed to develop the professional skills necessary to using new technology as a creative tool.

The training provided by Patrice Coulombe will allow participants to increase their artistic and professional skills by learning:
- to use Max software with a view to creating a digital work the language specific to audio, video and interactive creation
- sensor construction techniques simple electronic circuit construction techniques
- about the functioning of microcontrollers.

Studio XX will present the resulting works within the framework of a Femmes br@nchées salon.
