I’m glad to publicly launch the forthcoming 2011 editions of LPM – Live Performers Meeting, international meeting of live video performers, visual artists and vjs, focused on live video performances and live media.
Next year Rome will host the first event in May, while we’ll move to Minsk, Belarus in September for a second edition with our partners Cinetrip and Vision’r Festival.

The second year of activities of “Taller de Algoritmia” include new modules and applied knowledge in art aesthetic as well as a more direct relationship with innovation in relation to the new environment that welcomes us in 2010. We are pleased to report that with support from the government’s institution for promotion on production, CORFO, through its new archives and library area, practical modules on innovation and aesthetics will be held in by this new premises in Moneda Street 921, Santiago (Chile), second floor, in its Patrimonial Room, from about the second week of November of this year.

---

The modules called for this year are:

---

ISA:: Introduction to Analog Sensors for Interactive Interfaces
ICG:: Introduction to Computer Graphics
IPD:: Introduction to Pure Data (Pd)
ISM:: Introduction to Microcontrollers Sensors
IBE:: Instrumentation Bioelectronics
ISS:: Introduction to Sound Synthesis with Pd
IMMVP:: Introduction to Method in Music and Video-Performance with Pd
IOSC:: Introduction to Open Sound Control (OSC)
SSII:: Wireless Sensors
CCDD: Digital Controllers
IMMEPD:: Introduction to Methods in Electronic Music with Pd
IOCV:: Introduction to Open Computer Vision (OpenCV)
IEM:: Electronic Musical Instruments

---

I also want to welcome Hector and Marco Capossiello Colasso, comprising this year’s workshop. From their areas of expertise, will guide the new modules proposed; Computer Graphics and Sound Synthesis respectively. I remember the true commitment that the workshop had have from a beginning, with the use of free license logic for multiple platforms, as an effective way of disseminating details that make useful algorithmic methods participate in the common domain, while maintaining the original appropriation and intellectual industrial processes involved.

Call for participation
Workshop “Peer to peer design strategies”
by Emanuele Bonetti (Italy)
——————————————————————————–
3, 4 and 5 November 2010, 9:30-12:30 14:00-18:00
Poitiers, France | make art 2010 | “In-between design”
——————————————————————————–

---

max 6 participants

---

During the workshop participants will be asked to complete a design commission using an alternative peer-to-peer collaboration method.

---

The aim of the workshop is to complete one finished work of graphic design that all the participants find satisfying. This workshop serves as a test case and experiment to show that peer-to-peer design methodologies can serve as a serious alternative to traditional, hierarchical design project work flow.

---

The workshop is open to everyone with a maximum of six participants.
Participation is recommended for all the three days but participants can also choose to attend only one or two days.
The work produced during the first day will be carried on by the participants of the second say and so on.

---

During the workshop participants can use the graphic design software which they are the more familiar with as long as they are free/open source software, together with a set of self-written Internet applications developed for this project.

Jaaga is a large creative hackerspace in central Bangalore, India. We are looking for smart, creative people who who want to spend a few months working on interesting projects which use some aspect of high tech to do something fun in our space or on the net.

---

We offer a bed, homemade food, internet connection, small stipend, and a fun environment to create in. In exchange we ask that fellows blog regularly, open source code any code they may write, and generally contribute to the community.

Starting with Sensors and Interaction
Instructor: Hans-Christoph Steiner (hans[at]eds.org), Interaction Designer and Artist; Pd, Arduino, and Firmata Developer
Duration: 1 Day
Date: Wednesday, 20th (10am-5pm) of October of 2010
Theme: Using Pd and Arduino to create real-time interaction

---

The combination of sensors and computers provide myriad opportunities for creating interactions. This workshop will introduce how to use computers and sensors to generate real-time interaction in the physical world with light and movement. Pd (aka Pure Data) will be introduced as a simple programming enviroment for real-time interaction. Arduinos running Firmata software will be used to interface to the sensors, electronics, servos, etc. This workshop will be a combination of short lectures, hands-on instruction, and unstructured time to work on learning and exploring with support of the instructor. While Pd is fairly easy to learn and designed for artists, familiarity with basic computer programming will be very beneficial. You will be able to apply the concepts learned in this course to a wide range of programming environments where Arduino / Firmata is supported, including Flash, Processing, and more.

---

We have the required electronics tools at the venue but your encouraged to make arrangements for purchasing the following kit: http://www.adafruit.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=17&products_id=170Â. Students are also encouraged to bring additional hardware and/or tools they are interested in working with. Bring DMX lighting, LEDs, projectors, etc. to experiment with real-time lighting control. Bring servos or motor controllers to experiment with motion. Bring accelerometers, rotary sensors; flex sensors, etc. to experiment with sensing motion. Bring basic architecture model making supplies to build a model to work with. We also recommend that you bring any electronics equipment you may have including a soldering iron and solder, wire strippers, helping hands, digital multimeter, etc.
Materials required: Bring your own laptop.

---

Software: Pd-extended (http://puredata.info/downloads) and Arduino (http://arduino.cc), both free software, download and install before arriving, we can help troubleshoot any problems that arise.
Available Seats: 12 students/ Cost: $150
Location: NYC Resistor, 87 3rd Ave, 4th Floor, Brooklyn, NY, nycresistor.com

The competition, which will take place February 24-25 2011, will be judged by an expert panel including Tom Oberheim, inventor of the first polyphonic music synthesizer, Sergi Jorda, inventor of the Reactable tabletop musical instrument, Georgia Tech professor Jason Freeman, and Wired.com music journalist Eliot Van Buskirk. This annual competition is supported by the philanthropic gifts of Tech alum Richard Guthman in honor of his wife Margaret. It showcases new uses of technology to enhance participation in music performance and music creation.

---

For more information about previous iterations of the competition, judging criteria, submission format etc. go to our website.

---

We are looking forward to receiving your submissions, and please feel free to distribute this information to other interested parties.
