Course Description
Summary
This course looks at the peculiarly versatile program of Max/MSP/Jitter, a platform for sound and visuals. Our focus will be on the sonic capabilities of Max, though we will dip occasional into video, installational, and sensing technologies. Students will develop independent research and projects based on their interests, while smaller exercises will show how to reproduce analogue problems in the digital realm. Students must have an independent streak for troubleshooting and communal problem solving. At the end of the course, visiting specialists will show how to bring Max into diverse interactions with other disciplines and new interactive technologies, such as motion sensors, image tracking, and integration with Arduino.
