'An Idiots Guide to: Computational Sound & Generative Imagery'

@ New Greenham Arts
on Mon 12th & Tues 13th September, 2005 [10am - 4pm]
This creative workshop is open to artists working in all media who are interested in learning about computational soundworks, generative software and human interaction.

Mon 12th September: boredomresearch will challenge existing notions of the creative production of new media work, giving a clear insight into the role of technology and its creative processes. The participants will experience existing sound software (freeware which can be downloaded from the internet), perform versions of software in a space and reconfigure software versions of the performances. Through these processes they will experience the excitement of setting in motion digital processes where the creative outcome is unpredictable and potentially surprising.
Tue 13th September: boredomresearch will demonstrate how simple rules can generate imagery or motion. Participants will explore these rules through a mixture of paper based drawing experiments. Followed by a software version of the exercise where participants can change settings and see how easily they can generate a huge range of fascinating, generative imagery from very simple rules.

Price for 2 day workshop: 40
Places are limited, please book by the 7th Sept by contacting:
