5 Sept. 2011

13 participants, took part in my 4 day workshop intensive, from The Netherlands, Ireland, England, Luxembourg, Argentina, Turkey, Germany, France & Sweden. We covered the basics of manipulation of sound, video and lighting, as well as more advanced techniques such as listening to Arduino microprocessors with sensors via JunXion (STEIM's midi-osc mapping software), video tracking with the Kinect camera (Infra-Red 3D), frequency analysis of sound, sharing data directly with other softwares via MIDI or OSC, and adapting the software to your own needs with the addition of user actors. We worked with both live and pre-recorded inputs, networking data between computers, creating particle systems, interactive text projections & setting up Wii controllers to talk to Isadora.
