Title of Masterclass:Interacting Images: Reactive Art for Beginners
Instructor:
Nathaniel Stern
Instructor Bio:Nathaniel Stern is an
artist and writer, Fulbright grantee and professor, interventionist and public
citizen. According to Chicago’s Bad at Sports, he has “the most varied and
strange bio” and Live Out Loud magazine calls him a “prolific scholar” and
artist, whose work is “quite possibly some of the most relevant around.” Dubbed
a Milwaukee “avant-garde” (Journal Sentinel), Stern has been called “an
interesting and prolific fixture” (Artthrob.co.za) behind many “multimedia
experiments” (Time.com), “accessible and abstract simultaneously” (Art and
Electronic Media), someone “with starry, starry eyes” (Wired.com) who makes
both “bizarre and beautiful” art (Gizmodo). Boing Boing’s Cory Doctorow says
Stern makes “beautiful, glitched out art-images,” and Caleb Scharf at Scientific
American says his work is “tremendous fun” but also “fascinating” in how it is
“investigating the possibilities of human interaction and art.” http://nathanielstern.com/
Description of
Masterclass:Participants will learn basic interactive development with Cycling74’s “Max” environment,
and how to receive and work with live input from video cameras and microphones.
They will walk away with, and learn the inner-workings of, their own custom
software that can mix videos and images based on the volume (amplitude) of
sound in the room, or on the amount of movement in its space, and to
communicate between this software and the physical world. We will also discuss
and demonstrate the basics of how computer vision technologies for body
tracking, such as the Xbox Kinect, function. Finally, they will work alone or
in teams to input their own video and images (found, or shot) into the
interactive software, towards artistic ends.
Requirements:
No prerequisite.
However, participants will need to bring their own laptops & external
webcams for this class. Please download and install a (free) 30-day demo
version of Max/MSP+Jitter on your machine before coming to the workshop
