Railroad Earth PRESENTS: Real-time Interactive Video Workshop with Max/MSP/Jitter
Saturday, October 28, 2006, 12:00pm-6:00pm

Railroad Earth will host a Max/MSP/Jitter workshop with Aaron Miller. This workshop is a beginner class focusing on video processing and interactivity. Max/MSP/Jitter is graphical programming software for creating real-time video, audio and interactive projects. During the workshop, students will learn the basics of the program including how to create and process video, track color and movement, use sensors and create tools for live performance. Each participant will receive a CD containing Aaron’s tutorials and example files. The cost is $40 or $30 for students with ID. The class limit is 20. Please email or call to reserve a seat.

Please bring a laptop with Max/MSP/Jitter already installed. The free 30-day demo is available at www.cycling74.com . If you cannot bring a laptop, please contact Monica Duncan at This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it to check on computer availability at Railroad Earth.

Aaron Miller is an artist specializing in video, audio, performance, and interactive installations. He is co-founder/co-creator of [PAM] the Perpetual Art Machine , an online video art community, database, and traveling installation. A specialist and consultant in Max/MSP/Jitter, Miller has conducted workshops at Alfred University, Georgia Tech, Atlanta College of Art and others. He has also designed software for Gary Hill at The Coliseum in Rome, The Louvre Museum and The Pompidou Center in Paris. Recent exhibitions include the Split Film Festival, DIGit and the Albright-Knox Art Gallery’s biennial.

MAX/MSP/Jitter Classes @ Harvestworks

BETTER AND FASTER PATCH-BUILDING IN MAX/MSP/JITTER

Thursday, October 26, 2006 - 6:30pm to 9:30pm

Adam Kendall - http://www.hellbender.org/

Max/MSP/Jitter artists can work faster and write easier-to-use patches by
observing Max-specific techniques and general programming "best practices".
Working with native Max/MSP/Jitter objects, we will focus on techniques that
save programming time, that make patches easier to reuse in multiple
projects, and that create consistent interfaces for smoother performances
and user-interaction.

To exemplify the techniques, we'll build a set of patches that distribute
MIDI information to various controls, as well as a self-interpolating
"numberbox" control. You'll leave the workshop with files you can adapt to
your own work.

This is most appropriate for intermediate (and maybe advanced-beginner)
Max/MSP/Jitter programmers -- People who know how to build functional
patches and want to learn straightforward techniques for making reusable
objects.

$110 members / $170 non-members - membership is $75/yr

INTERACTIVE TECHNOLOGY FOR DANCERS
4 Fridays, Oct 27, Nov 3/10/17 - 6:30pm to 9:30pm

Marlon Barrios Solano - http://unstablelandscape.blogspot.com/

Using Max/MSP/Jitter, this workshop is geared to expose dance artists and performers to digital real-time processing and its application and issues for the creation of performance and installation environments. A hands-on workshop to get participants familiar with the Jitter object system, subjects such as real-time video playback, signal-processing for video, live camera tracking, audio-visual interaction, and the use of wireless game controllers as an alternative interface will be explored. Participants are expected to have basic experience with digital video processing.

$430/members $490/non-members - - membership is $75/yr
