About the Workshop MAX/MSP is an application specially designed for interactive works such as installations and performances with music and video in real time. It can be connected to Arduino interfaces, a wide variety of controllers, sensors and MIDI controllers and it is relatively easy to learn. It includes different environments, such as MSP (for real time audio) and Jitter (for real time video). The workshop gives an introduction to the software and, in particular, about the use of Jitter in interactive environments such as installations or dance pieces, with the aid of MIDI controllers, tracking systems and/or body sensors. The workshop also includes an overview of Jitter objects, and the design of patchers and user-interfaces.

MAX/MSP:

* Introduction to the concept and user interface of MAX/MSP * How to control patchers with MIDI controllers * How to control patchers with bio-data * How to automatise patchers.
