The workshop component is a four day overview of Pure Data, GEM and PDP, a collection of Free + Open Source Softwares available for Linux and Mac OSX 10.3 which allow image, sound and data to be synthesized and manipulated in the same environment. Participants will learn the basic "grammar" and "vocabulary" of Pure Data, upon which objects for sound, 3D and video will be added. Emphasis will be placed on direct connections between sound and image through three different methods: influence of sound on image, influence of image on sound and the use of common "control data" for both image and sound.
