<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Pure Data is a powerful, free and
open-source software environment for producing and manipulating sound, image,
data and connections to sensors, motors and other "physical
computing" functions, all in real time. Because the programming is done
visually, many artists find it a more intuitive tool than traditional
text-oriented programming languages. This 5 day workshop will cover the basic
"grammar" and "vocabulary" of the Pure Data language
through a mix of lecture and demonstration in the mornings and project-based
mentoring in the afternoons. This workshop is open to those with no previous
computer programming experience, however basic computer literacy is assumed as
well as a working familiarity with either digital audio or video. A
manual-in-progress for Pure Data by Derek Holzer can be found here:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>BIOGRAPHY<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Derek Holzer [USA 1972] is a sound
artist with a background in radio, webstreaming and environmental recording.
His work focuses on capturing and transforming small, unnoticed sounds from
various natural and urban locations, networked collaboration strategies,
experiments in improvisational sound and the use of free software such as
Pure-Data. He has released tracks under the Nexsound, Sirr, and/OAR, Frozen
Elephants Music, Mandorla and Gruenrekorder labels, and has co-initiated
several internet projects for field recording and collaborative soundscapes
including Soundtransit.nl. His recent projects include the opto-electronic
audiovisual performance TONEWHEELS, solo performances for analog synthesizer
and a manual for Pure Data. He was also co-curator of the Tuned City event for
sound and architecture, which took place in Berlin during July 2008.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
