##########Pure-Data at Video-In Studios##########

Pure-Data is a Free/Libre Open Source graphical programming
environment for multimedia, written by software pioneer Miller
Puckette, the original author of Max-MSP, with help from developers
around the world. It works on most modern operating systems and allows
users to connect and manipulate audio, video, network, and human
interface data in real-time on almost any computer.

These workshops will attempt to provide a progressive introduction for
beginners to the manipulation of audio, video, and network data using
Pure-Data and GEM on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. Through the
deconstruction of existing tools written in Pd, participants will gain
an understanding of how the language works in practice while learning
the syntax. We will also discuss the practice and politics of the Free
and Open Source Software movement and it's implications for new media
producers. No previous programming experience is required, but a
working knowledge of computer applications for audio and/or video is
an asset.

The workshops will take place every Saturday afternoon from 1 to ~4pm
at Video-In Studios for five consecutive weeks starting October 8th,
2005. The fee for all five sessions is $100. Single sessions may be
attended at any point for a fee of $25, but remember that the
workshops will be progressive and information covered in one session
may not necessarily be reviewed in another. Participants are
encouraged to bring a laptop if they have one, especially to the first
session, which will include an installation clinic. A finalized lesson
plan will be on-line next week.

Help support new-media and open-source education initiatives at Video-In!
