Course: ARTS-4968-01
Professor: Curtis Bahn
iEAR studio
Rensellaer Polytechnic Institute, USA

Interactive arts programming will investigate the use of sensor technology for interactive performance and installation. We will be the first class to exploit some of the newest gear soon to be available at the iEAR studios: the I-CubeX sensor/MIDI controller. Class meetings will center on an advanced study of the MAX graphical programming language, using the new MSP digital signal processing objects for sound synthesis, physical modeling, signal processing, sampling, looping and general chaos.

We will discuss the design of performance/installation interfaces using the "Mega-Max" toolkit and the new I-CubeX sensor / controller. Also available to students will be the advanced research topic of building custom physical interfaces using the Basic Stamp II single board computer and off-the-shelf sensors.
