Mapping The Vortex: Mapping & Visualization with SuperCollider
Workshops (Adults)- Sat 21.May @ 17:00 - 5/21/16 20:00
- Sun 22.May @ 15:00 - 5/21/16 18:00
Α two-day long intensive workshop addressing to everyone aiming to expand their practical as well as theoretical knowledge on mapping and visualization. Its content is based on the instructor’s book “Mapping and Visualization with SuperCollider” and related to subjects as: 2D computer graphics, fractals, particle systems, encodings/mapping, data and sound analysis, waverform/spectra syntesis as well as advanced sonification and visualization techniques. SuperCollider has been established as, probably, the most powerful environment of text editing related to algorithmic music, sound synthesis and digital signal processing in real time. It offers a great audio synthesis generator and a dynamic object-oriented programming language. It is widely used by artists and researchers all around the world. SuperCollider is an open source software, available for free at: http://supercollider.sourceforge.net
