DM-7030-01 Of Sound and Vision:
An Integrated Introduction to Multimedia Programming with Max
|
|
Course Description:
In this intensive studio course, students will be exposed to the fundamentals of multimedia programming using the graphical environment Max, its object libraries for sound and video, MSP and Jitter, and strategies for connecting Max to the physical world. Through daily and weekly readings and assignments, students will gain a conceptual foundation for incorporating sound into their work and practical considerations of multimedia programming. A hands-on approach will be emphasized, and students will work with the basic building blocks of sound, video, and physical computing to create interactive projects and algorithmic compositions, culminating with the development of a larger work that incorporates knowledge gained throughout the course. |
