Electron Club
CCA – Centre for Contemporary Arts, 350 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow G2 3JD

---

---

Electron Club presents an introduction to Pure Data, a real-time graphical programming environment for audio, video, and graphical processing.

---

Pure Data is the third major branch of the family of patcher programming languages known as Max originally developed by Miller Puckette and company at IRCAM. Pd is free multi-platform software.

---

This two day workshop will bring participants through the basic idioms of dataflow, real-time audio and visual processing and networking. It is lead by Edinburgh based new media artists Marco Donnarumma and Ioann Maria.

---

What:

---

Participants will learn how to communicate with Pd and surf through the audio and visual processing objects libraries. Together we’ll build basic processing audio and video structures and discover tricks and tips to create our own performance tool.

---

No previous programming experience is needed.
