Ottawa's Mini-Maker Faire

12 – 6PM
November 6th and 7th, 2010
2 Daly Ave.
Free

"Considering that some of the greatest leaps forward in American 
technological history have been scrappy homebrews (Apple Computer was a 
literal garage startup), it's really kind of exciting to think that, given 
its explosive growth, the Maker Faire might well help along an invention 
or two that's truly important." – Advertising Age

The innovation laced through the capital region is impressive, and this 
first ever Mini-Maker Faire is a chance to connect creative people from 
all over our region in a celebration of the DIY spirit. A Mini-Maker Faire 
brings together families and individuals who celebrate Arts, Crafts, 
Engineering, Food, Music, Sustainability, and Science and those who 
embrace the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) spirit. At Maker Faire, the focus is on 
the process of making – not just the finished product.

The real story here is the curiosity, vibrancy, and passion of the Makers 
themselves, the people who comprise the rapidly emerging DIY category. 
Scientists, homemakers, students, automotive enthusiasts, software 
developers, musicians, crafters of all stripes: individuals and 
communities of people drawn together by a common delight in the magic of 

Berlin Workshops Nov+Dec at NK

?Ich bin ein Objekt?: Learning Pure Data as a Language
DATES: 13-14 November 2010 12:00-17:00
COST: EUR 35
LOCATION: NK, Elsenstr. 52/2.Hinterhaus Etage 2
12059 Berlin Neukölln

Pure Data (or Pd) is a real-time graphical programming environment for  
audio, video, and graphical processing. This introductory workshop is  
ideal for new users of Pure Data who are finding the ?vocabulary? and  
?grammar? difficult to grasp. We will learn Pure Data as one would  
learn any other language, taking a series of very basic examples from  
the Pure Data FLOSS Manual. This workshop gives a good starting point  
for more advanced Pd workshops, or participation in the Berlin Pure  
Data users? group. The workshop will be taught in English 

Participation is limited to 12 participants.

Registration: Pre-registration is required and can be done by sending  
an email to info@...

Re: [PD] Flexible Step Sequencers For Pd Vanilla

great. if you're interested, it's not that hard to change the amount of  
"steps" in the display (either with data structures or simple canvas).  
hope that you got the datebank loading properly. the next meeting should  
be on the 19th, it's not completely sure yet.

performances.
Avec Jack/RYbN, Sylvain Le Beux, Maurin Donneaud et Vincent Rioux.

16h30 / 18h : présentation du travail de Art Of Failure : Laps.

Art Of Failure est un duo d'artistes français composé de Nicolas Maigret
et Nicolas Montgermont. Leur travail se nourrit des avant-gardes
historiques et d'expérimentations artistiques et scientifiques. Ils
opèrent des glissements ou des transpositions, notamment de concepts
vers le domaine plastique, de données géologiques vers l'édition vinyle,
ou encore de l'informatique médicale vers le format concert. Ces
détournements mettent en lumière des problématiques et des esthétiques
propres aux technologies qui nous sont contemporaines. Leur travail est
présenté sous de multiples formes : performances, installations, projets

Pd-berlin meeting next tuesday, 19th October

Hello,

next tuesday, 19th October, will be the next meeting of Pure Data users
in Berlin at NK (http://www.nkprojekt.de/) - Elsenstr. 52, 2HH 2Etage.

For more information, look up
http://puredata.info/community/organization/pd-berlin/pd-berlin-users-group.
We also encourage you to take an active part, and put up suggestions for
topics you want to talk about / topics you want to be talked about.

Doors are open from 20h-20h15. After that they'll be closed, and you will
have to call someone from the Pd-meeting to get in. To get a telephone
number to call or confirm assistance you can write to
info_at_minitronics.net.

Please, don´t call to the staff of NK to open the doors. They let us use
the space but we have to take care about having the meeting without
producing any disturbance to them, and to clean the space after the
meeting.

We would apreciate if you would send us a small mail to
info_at_minitronics.net with your name, Pd experience and interests, so
that we know how many people might be coming. Or put your name in the
pd-berlin wiki page.

We would like to thank the support and willingness of NK in the
organization of these events.

NYC Patching Circle this Sunday 10/17, 3-8pm

Time for more patching!  Pure Data 0.43 is about to be released, so  
some of us will be working on finalizing that.  It includes a major  
update to the GUI to enable lots of customization.  You can now  
customize the Pd GUI using simple plugins.  Come bring your projects  
or try out Pd 0.43.

We'll be at NYC Resistor this Sunday from 3-8pm.

http://puredata.info/community/NYCPatchingCircle

We spend enough time alone staring at our computers; we are proposing
to work together. So often issues that arise when working can be
solved with a quick two minute discussion that would take hours to
solve alone. We have Dorkbot to see people's work, we have Share where
anyone can play, we have workshops and universities to learn from.
This is a meeting where we all can come to work.

This is an informal gathering of patching and patchers (Pd, Max/MSP/
Jitter, and even vvvv, Eyesweb, Labview, etc.). Beginners and
Experienced welcome. Open to everyone, students, the public, etc. Work
on personal projects, professional projects, school projects, ask for
help, help others, or just patch quietly to yourself, in a room full of
other people patching patches and helping other people patch.

Every third Sunday of the month, so this Sunday, August 15th!
3-8pm (a little later than before)
Free!

Workshop: Starting with Sensors and Interaction, <at> ACADIA conference

http://www.acadia.org/acadia2010/workshops

11- WORKSHOP TITLE: Starting with Sensors and Interaction
Instructor: Hans-Christoph Steiner (hans@...), Interaction  
Designer and Artist; Pd, Arduino, and Firmata Developer
Administrative Support:
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

Trente-septième rencontre du club d'utilisateurs de PureData de Montréal
à Vidéographe, au 4550, rue Garnier (coin Mont-Royal)
Le samedi 23 octobre 2010 de 13h00 à 17h00

1. Pure Data et les Larseneurs
    (Thomas Thiery)

    La présentation "Pure Data et les Larseneurs" a pour objectif de
    présenter deux "patchs" utilisés par le projet de concerts ou
    d'interventions dédiés aux larsens, "Larseneurs". Elle se déroulera en
    trois temps, l'une consacrée à la présentation du projet et des actions
    réalisées puis par la présentation du "patch larsenophone" simple et
    enfin la description du "patch larsenophone réseau".

    Larseneur : http://larseneur.net
    Thomas Thiery : http://www.th-th.fr

2. Nouveaux externes dans la librairie "tof"
    (Thomas O. Fredericks)

    Je présenterai quelques externes d'interface-utilisateur, et le système
    de routage/gui/paramètres/sauvegarde param (version «release»)

3. Thomas O. Fredericks va me poser des questions sur ma présentation
    passée à propos de la nouvelle façon de faire de l'OpenGL dans
    GridFlow 9.11 ([gf/gl]).

4. On parlera un peu de ZenGarden (http://github.com/mhroth/ZenGarden)

5. Le Cyc
    (Martin Eckart)

    For the project I built a projection system in PD-GEM which allows the
    artist to "perform" the visuals (including panning/zooming) in
    real-time with the band.  It's a glorified slideshow but I'm proud of
    it :)

    We're performing that and our newer project "Hello Adventure" (no
    online samples...yet.  More of a stop-motion animation piece) in
    Montreal this coming weekend and in other parts of Ontario through
    early November so if you're in the area please do come say hi.
