Creative Code Workshops
workShop[1] = PureData;
Over the past several decades of advancement in computer technology, a fledgling movement of computational and digital media art has emerged. Initially the province of a handful techno-savvy pioneers, today there is a wide range of tools and resources available to artists and designers, drastically lowering the barrier of entry for anyone interested in computer art. This series of Creative Code Workshops explores the sometimes-nebulous territory of Code-As-Art, bringing creatives and technologists together to make interesting, complex work.
In our second workshop, we will explore PureData, an open-source development tool for interactive computer music and multimedia authoring. Pd’s dataflow programming paradigm and visual development environment bridges the gap between programmers, musicians, and audio producers. This hands-on workshop provides a solid introduction to the software and examples of what’s capable with this technology.
