In this workshop, we will go over OSC, the most widely supported real-time multimedia communication protocol that exists. OSC is the common language that almost every existing hardware/software tool speaks, and which allows multiple independent programs to communicate with each other in real time. With just one tool you can… Continue reading
Join saxophonist, composer, and instrument builder Zack Hann in this interactive workshop on getting started with MaxMSP. The session will offer an overview of Max’s capabilities across a wide range of media, with examples drawn from composition, visual art, sound design, instrument building, installation art, and more. Participants will patch… Continue reading
In this hands-on demonstration, participants will learn about the Demon Box, a device created by the Eternal Research group, and explore how it can be used to detect electromagnetic signals and transform them into sound. The session will cover how to control DMX lighting, MIDI, and CV for integrating sound… Continue reading
This workshop will cover the pipeline for face and body tracking in both recorded and live motion capture coupled with machine learning techniques for retargeting avatars and triggering environmental cues in games, XR and live performance. Students employ motion capture suits, 3D modeling software, wearables and open-source libraries to control… Continue reading
EDIT 06/07: The class has been postponed indefinitely. Please check back later for updates. Born in Latent Space is a live, online lecture-performance unfolding as a speculative and improvisational collaboration between artist Marlon Barrios Solano and generative machine learning systems. Seated before a laptop, the performer engages in a real-time duet… Continue reading
In this seminar, Dr. Heidi Boisvert will discuss current empirical research methods and insights emerging from the Limbic Lab, which employs biometrics, machine learning, and predictive models to isolate effective narrative ingredients across various mediums of expression. Boisvert will share how this research informs the creation of bio-adaptive networked dance… Continue reading
In this workshop, Liz Phillips will demonstrate the use of Mugic Sensors, developed by Mari Kimura, in combination with EmissionControl2—a software developed by Curtis Roads for sound synthesis and composition—exploring its potential for dynamic control and interaction in her new work. 📢 Getting Started with EmissionControl2 Software🗓 DATE & TIME: Saturday, June… Continue reading
This artist talk and demonstration will explore Fiddle Henge, a robotically controlled array of four green violins mounted on a bass drum. Using digital fabrication, microcontroller programming, and custom mechanical components, Ross Wightman has created an instrument that blends acoustic resonance with robotic precision, producing intricate microtonal textures and complex rhythmic… Continue reading
Mobile devices are often underrated as potential hardware solutions for multimedia projects, yet they come equipped with a powerful suite of tools—all accessible simply by owning a smartphone from the last decade and a half. These include a camera, microphone, accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, GPS, touchscreen, speaker and audio output, real-time… Continue reading
