Cory's Readings for 10.27

For Wednesday, please read/watch the following:

Max 5 Tutorial Zero

This is about a five minute intro to the Max/MSP/Jitter patching environment. Don't worry, it doesn't get really technical but will give you a sense of the environment.

Lev Manovich

The Poetics of Augmented Space

The link is about halfway through the texts on the left side of page.

JAMOMA: A MODULAR STANDARD FOR

STRUCTURING PATCHES IN MAX

This is a good example (the best one I know of) of a modular high-level object library in Max and addresses many of the problem areas that I am grappling with. It gets a little technical, so just skim over it to get the idea.

AND

TRAKHUE -

INTUITIVE GESTURAL CONTROL OF LIVE ELECTRONICS

http://www.music.mcgill.ca/~nils/papers/ICMC2007_TrakHue.pdf

Again, don't worry about total comprehension. This is more to give a sense of one possible form of physical computing or Human Computer Interface that I might work to integrate as a module.

AND IF YOU HAVE TIME:

SPACE-TIME DYNAMICS IN VIDEO FEEDBACK

Physica, 1984

James P. Crutchfield

http://www.vasulka.org/Kitchen/PDF_Eigenwelt/pdf/191-207.pdf

This is a little thick... but worth the read. Feedback is a central tenet to our (NoiseFolds) approach to simulation and live-cinema performance.

For a foundation in the history of electronic synthesis, peruse the Eigenwelt der Apparate-welt: Pioneers of Electronic Art catalogue in the Vasulka Archives. This catalogue is one of the primary documents that I am using for research.
