[PAM] loves multi-channel video installations, from our own interactive installation which has traveled the globe, to our Chealse Art Museum "Video Art In The Age of The Internet" exhibition where we had 3 synchronized video channels (just one of 3 video installations - thank you Alfred Univesity), to our many screenings at MonkeyTown who sport a Quad channel screening/dinner room (Hint Hint - there's a [PAM] party going on February 15th - TBA SOON), to our recent collaborations with Artists Meeting at the DUMBO Arts Festival, we simple can get enough of multi-channel video art installation. It's the wave of the future...err... it's the present state of the art. As computers and graphic cards continue to break Moore's Law and software becomes more advanced we see this as the fruition of many years worth of pioneering work coming to the forefront. That's why we we're excited to hear about Havestwork's newest offing of MAX/MSP Jitter classes. In Harvestwork's own words the need is stated as "multichannel audio is well-known in the digital arts community, but multichannel video became more and more prominent in recent years. While it is easy to just project multiple videos that are not connected, using all videos  as part of a connected space requires to apply some mathematical concepts to your programming. Some of the same calculations are used in multichannel and surround sound audio spatialization as well, so this class will review spatialization for video and audio."

MULTICHANNEL AUDIO & VIDEO SPATIALIZATION IN MAX/MSP/JITTER Zachary Seldess. Thursday, Jan 31, 6:30 to 9:30pm $110/$170  Zachary Seldess, a composer, teacher, and Harvestworks engineer, offers a class on designing tools for realtime audio/video spatialization.  This three-hour workshop, geared towards intermediate Max programmers, will explore methods for controlling the movements of sonic and visual objects in 2D and 3D  space. The class will begin with an introduction to intuitive GUI design and related mathematical concepts important to spatialization (cartesian to polar conversion, distance calculations, etc.), followed by a walk-through of several pre-made example patches. Harvestworks, which had its 30th anniversary last year, offers a widevariety of classes and individual tutorials in Max/MSP and Jitter for beginner and intermediate levels. A new round of introductory classes start in February, in March we hold a full-week crash course in Max/MSP. Our One-on-one Certificate is geared towards students who want to develop their own project during the training. The lower price quoted is for members, membership is $75/yr. All other prices are for non-members.
