<p class=CM6 style='line-height:12.0pt'><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:8.0pt'>We
will rapidly move through the basics of the MaxMSP visual programming
environment, answering any lingering questions of the participants and getting
everyone in the group up to speed with the essentials of patch construction,
message passing, encapsulation, order of operations, data processing and so on.
Although MaxMSP is a large and complex set of building blocks, the construction
of compact, understandable and (above all) useful patches is surprisingly
simple. Within a couple of hours, participants should be comfortably creating
basic patches and analyzing/ modifying more complex existing patches to implement
their ideas within the MaxMSP environment. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=CM6 style='margin-right:14.65pt;line-height:12.0pt'><span lang=EN-US
style='font-size:8.0pt'>Armed with the essentials, we'll move right into visual
data processing using the Jitter extensions to MaxMSP. Topics to be explored
include still and moving image playback and processing, use of external
controllers or user interface devices to influence playback and processing
behaviors, direct pixel access and transcoding (conversion of Jitter data to
"normal" MaxMSP data and vice versa), among others. Jitter extends
the data vocabulary of MaxMSP (integer & floating-point numbers, symbols,
lists) to include a 'matrix' type: a table of numbers (think Excel
spreadsheet). These tables can have several layers/planes and multiple
dimensions, making them an ideal carrier for (among other things) frame-based
media such as video or OpenGL (3D) vertex and texture data, text and audio
analysis data. We'll be taking a survey of the most important and typical uses
of Jitter matrices, particularly as they can be applied to the group's project.

another computer. This will, in turn, use the video data to control simple

screenings—his work has been exhibited throughout Europe and North
America. For several years, his work has been concerned, on a technical level,
with "reanimation"—assembling temporal structures out of static
or frozen fragments of "personally associative" materials—home
movies, snapshots, field recordings, old records, etc. Increasingly, he has
been exploring sound and image as "influenceable media" -- semi-fluid
forms capable of withstanding structural modulation -through the use of custom
computer software. He has composed numerous music and sound scores for theater
and dance productions, and constructed several interactive video and sound
environments for theater and other live performance events. He is also a
developer of MaxMSP (Cycling '74, 1988 - present) and co-author of the Jitter multidimensional
data processing environment (Cycling '74, 2002 - present). <o:p></o:p></span></p>

with John Dekron, and has shown work at Transmediale, ICMC, and other
festivals. He has taught courses in Max/MSP at Darmstadt, Warsaw, and Berlin.
Castine is also known as a developer of external objects for Max/MSP/Litter,
