*Free/Libre Open Source Software<br>
In-depth Theoretical and practical audiovisual live performance<br>
seminary using FLOSS.<br>
Pure Data audiovisual real-time processing, tricks and tips to create<br>
your own performance tool.<br>
<br>
Description<br>
<br>
The seminary consists of four parts. During the introduction the<br>
participants acquire a basic theoretical knowledge about Live Media.<br>
The introduction is extended through a review of selected audiovisual<br>
works in order to explore and analyse the potential of the audiovisual<br>
research.<br>
<br>
Therefore participants are introduced to the concept of FLOSS<br>
(Free/Libre Open Source Software), they familiarize with few FLOSS<br>
software as they understand its practical and theoretical keystones.<br>
<br>
In the second part participants learn the meaning of real-time<br>
audio-video data processing reviewing the most common<br>
production tools. Eventually they deal with the process of an<br>
audiovisual performance pre-production using FLOSS: from<br>
brainstorming and concept design, through planning of the audiovisual<br>
format, to the collection of support materials such as texts,<br>
tutorials, and the drawing of sketches representing the logic<br>
structure of data processing. <br>
<br>
The third part focus on Pure Data graphical programming environment.<br>
Participants learn to communicate with Pd and how to surf through the<br>
audio and visual processing libraries. They build basic processing<br>
structures and discover tricks and tips to create their own<br>
performance tool.<br>
<br>
For the last part the work group is split in smaller groups. Through<br>
practical individual exercises participants acquire the technical<br>
know-how about the creation/collection of moving images and sonic<br>
events within the Pure Data graphical programming environment, thus<br>
they develop an original software, following the standard realisation<br>
steps: beta-testing; analysis of errors and its<br>
correction; and final testing during a collective jam<br>
performance.<br>
<br>
Aim<br>
<br>
The seminary seeks to give the participants who don't have<br>
previous experience in programming and Live Media practice the needed<br>
theoretical and practical knowledge and skills to feel comfortable<br>
within the FLOSS creation environment. The classes' aim is to<br>
make the participants able to understand and assimilate the diverse<br>
passages of the creation process of software ad-hoc in order to be<br>
independent during the planning and development of a FLOSS project<br>
(musical, audiovisual, multi-media or theatre pieces) using the<br>
audiovisual language.<br>
<br>
Who's it for<br>
<br>
Musicians, producers, live visualists, film-makers, programmers,<br>
sound designers or passionates of digital arts or electronic music<br>
and experimentation who want to enhance and extend their skills and<br>
tools will find this seminary inspirational and fundamental for the<br>
further development of their works and creative ideas, free from the<br>
limitations of user-friendly and proprietary software.<br>
<br>
No previous programming experience is needed.<br>
<br>
What to bring<br>
<br>
Participants are invited to bring their laptops and encouraged to<br>
bring musical instruments, cameras, photo cameras, webcam,<br>
microphones, sensors, MIDI devices and fresh, unusual ideas! <br>
