David Muth: Creative Computing
Date(s):
Fri 3 4:05 PM
Host:
David Muth
Detailed text:
The creative computing workshop introduces the visual programming language PD, a highly modular open source development environment. It has a long tradition of being used by composers, performers, researchers and artists interested in creating interactive software. PD offers a very playful approach to modifying an existing program, as it blurs the distinction between authoring, compiling and testing. Its particular strength, apart from its appeal to people without any knowledge of scripting languages, lies in sound and imagery.
