“synaesthesia happy hour” is a 2 days workshop that will introduce you to data mapping and basic synaesthetic tricks to get you started making real-time audiovisual experiments based on incoming data taken from various sources. In this crash course we will focus on how a single source of information (for example data from a sensor, or a log file)
can be used to both generate sounds and visual. After the workshop you will never see numbers the same! (your mileage may vary)
The workshop is targeted to beginners only, for artists and students who are curious about data mapping and want to get introduced to Pure Data (http://puredata.info/). We will run the software from the pure:dyne GNU/Linux distribution (http://puredyne.goto10.org).

For the second installment of Symbiosis, OKNO invites Dutch artists Jan-Kees van Kampen and Arjen Keesmaat for an electronic music performance.
Coupled to the event is a Performance Lab session in the form of a free three day workshop by GOTO10’s Jan-Kees van Kampen. In this workshop we will work on a collaborative playground for an audiovisual performance/installation. Focussing on using scsynth to generate sound, hold data and build a sequencer for networked play, we use the
supercollider language as an intermediate between the server and external clients.
SuperCollider is a programming language for sound and electronic music.
Excellently adapted to a contemporary environment of networks, free software and live coding, SuperCollider is an extraordinary tool in the technological artist’s arsenal. It sounds gorgeous too 😉
