Pure Data is ideal for those looking to integrate technology into their work for the first time, or advanced media artists looking to explore new tools and new ways to combine them in a unified environment. It is easy to use Pure Data to create interactive environments, link animations and sound, control hardware and electronics, stream audio, generate real time visuals and develop interfaces for other programs. In this intensive two week course, participants will learn Pure Data from scratch and explore in detail some of its most exciting extensions. Participants will discover real time sound design, audiovisual techniques, physical modelling and pure:dyne, a specialised version of Linux operating system for live audio-visual work. All software used is available for free, if you bring your own computer you can have copies installed on it. A number of pre-installed computers will also be available for use in the workshop. The software is available for Linux, Mac OSX and Windows operating systems. Support on installing and using the software for Linux and OSX users will be available, but please note we cannot provide support for Windows users in this workshop. - The Pure Data Spring School 2007 is brought to you by GOTO10, CCA and OpenLab Glasgow. The tutors are Frank Barknecht, and Chun Lee, two experienced artists who work closely with Pure Data in live performance projects and who have also contributed to the development of the software itself.
